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.

Rob Ryan comes to the USA

 

Rob Ryan is something of a national treasure in the UK, celebrated for his beautiful paper cuts and screen prints. This summer we're thrilled to be bringing his work over to New York City for his first solo exhibition in the USA.

The exhibition will coincide with the launch of his first wall calendar published by Rizzoli. A selection of original paper cuts will be on show (including the 12 works that formed the basis for the calendar) along with a related series of 12 screen prints (editions of 250)

The works will be available from our website soon, or in the meantime you can contact us for more details. This is the first of many pop-up exhibitions we're planning in the USA so stay tuned! You can follow us on our NYC twitter account @TAGFineArtsNYC.

New Artist from New York

Last year, Diana left London for New York City, and we're thrilled to say that we'll be promoting TAG across America in 2011, exhibiting at new US fairs and expanding on our stable of artists.

We're delighted to be working with American artist Paula Scher, whose limited edition screenprinted maps picture the world in dense, colourful detail. Scher is best known for her prizewinning work as a graphic designer, but these beautiful editions showcase a different side to her creative talents. Her work was recently acquired by the V&A and we'll be showing it at the London Art Fair this month.
