Long-Sharp Gallery is privileged to be exhibiting at the IFPDA's 30th annual fair. What an honor it is to exhibit alongside many of the great champions of printmaking, and thanks to Brian Kelly at the Wall Street Journal for his in-depth coverage of this fair.

Artwork by Lavett Ballard has been chosen for the cover of TIME Magazine, now for the second time. According to Victor Williams, TIME Magazine's Art Director: "For a corresponding visual narrative to accompany a new piece by Isabel Wilkerson, author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, TIME turned to artist Lavett Ballard, to create a cover that would—like Wilkerson’s work—present a challenge to the reader and to America: How did we arrive at this moment, a moment when the barriers to equality in America are so clear? And what is the way forward?”

In January 2020, Lavett Ballard was approached by D.W. Pine (creative director of TIME Magazine), who was selecting covers for TIME's 100 Women of the Year. Each cover featured a representative woman/group from the last 100 years, and Pine hoped to utilize Ballard's depiction of Rosa Parks. The artist shared: "I used Rosa as the centerpiece because she was the one who was able to bring the movement to fruition. I also used images of the buses, of people standing outside waiting, of people walking, and yellow roses to represent freedom.”

Artnet most recently highlighted current exhibits in Long-Sharp Gallery | Virtual: David Spiller | There are Places I Remember and Christmas Land. Both exhibits feature works by the late artist that have not been exhibited in over a decade.

The article shares that, "David Spiller is best known for his graphic, saturated cartoon-like tableaux, each with his signature color 'dots' floating across the surface." Along with the virtual exhibit, audio tours, video components, e-Catalogues and printed catalogues are available on request.

Two woman-owned, established galleries join forces to promote artist Lavett Ballard, the emerging artist whose portrait of Rosa Parks made the cover of TIME Magazine in March 2020.
