ANDERS BERGSTROM: Prints

Greg Kucera Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of prints by New York artist Anders Bergstrom.

Bergstrom’s prints are painstaking simulations of the common brown paper bag. Each jagged edge, creased fold, and greasy stain is an homage to this everyday object that we usually take for granted. Though the work may appear at first to be readymade, closer inspection reveals the printmaking techniques used to recreate each detail.
