Dore Page A Printmaker's Season New serigraphs May 24 thru June 28, 2008

Dore first rose to prominence in the '70s and '80s as a result of her collaboration with Fluxus founder Dick Higgins, who also sponsored the first major exhibition of her work in New York. Although Dore does not consider herself a Fluxus artist, her early work is included in the Fluxus Museum in Potsdam, Germany. And her handprinting technique - a composite of several methods - is in keeping with the Fluxus philosophy. One of the many methods she uses is letterpress, a printing process once popular with small job printers. "I was fascinated with the visual drama of print," Dore says. "Newspapers and old movie fan magazines and early tabloids like "Confidential" inspired a new series of prints entitled "Daystar.

Visually, Dore's composite works could be described as skirting the boundaries of pop art,
but with a personal or even painterly construct that draws easy comparisons to Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky.
