Mapping the typographic landscape of New York City

TAG Fine Arts NYC is delighted to now be working with the talented artist and designer, Ursula Hitz. A typographic genius, the artist meticulously creates contemporary cartographic maps of the world's best-known cities based on place names. With expertize in fonts, typefaces and all things typography, Hitz's real interest lies in how letters capture not only the dimension of a city, but also its personally too. She explains, "unlike regular maps, mine don't focus on streets or buildings. Instead, they build an organic texture of worlds that grow from the centre - in the way that many cities have grown".  Hitz has exhibited her work widely in Europe and we look forward to introducing her beautiful typographic maps Stateside.  For information and availability on her map of the Big Apple (illustrated below), please contact Diana. Exhibition dates to follow.

Armory week over - are we post-recession?

Nadia Hebson showing at VOLTA with VANE, Newcastle

Whitechapel Gallery Limited Editions at The Armory Show

Early opening of The Armory Show 2011

As the dust settles after Armory week, the feedback is that sales were good at the fair, despite strong competition from alternative shows, such as ADAA, the Independent, and Pulse.  Hobby joined me this year to scope out places to exhibit TAG's stable of artists in 2012.  We were very impressed with VOLTA and, in particular, with Nadia Hebson's beautiful portrait works,  hosted by VANE gallery based in Newcastle.  It was wonderful to see the Whitechapel Gallery exhibiting their Limited Editions for the first time at the Armory.
