Crown Point Press presents Only Black and White, a group exhibition that explores the intricacies of black and white prints. Featuring a diverse group of nineteen artists, the exhibition highlights the significance of line, tone, and expression in the absence of color, inviting a deep engagement with form and contrast. The works showcase the artists’ ability to balance simplicity and complexity using only the monochrome palette, revealing profound depth and subtle nuance.
The works included in Only Black and White range from abstract to figurative, geometric to organic. What ties them together is the artists’ choice to work exclusively in black and white.
Artists featured in Only Black and White are Enrique Chagoya, Richard Diebenkorn, Leonardo Drew, Al Held, Mary Heilmann, Jacqueline Humphries, Anish Kapoor, Sol LeWitt, Brice Marden, Tom Marioni, David Nash, Ed Ruscha, Pat Steir, Wayne Thiebaud, Charline von Heyl, Mary Weatherford, William T. Wiley, Fred Wilson, and John Zurier.
