New Prints by Virginia Jaramillo

The set of prints, made across 2021 and 2022, take influence from an important body of ‘curvilinear’ collages made in 1969—an early stage in the formation of Jaramillo’s seminal series of paintings made in New York City. The prints demonstrate Jaramillo’s fascination with line, color and space—offering an insight into her thought process and practice. 

The ‘Curvilinear’ series have received much critical acclaim, having formed Jaramillo’s first institutional solo exhibition at the Menil, Houston, Texas. They were exhibited in Tate Modern’s 2017 exhibition Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, which toured to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, AR, USA; Brooklyn Museum, NY, USA; the Broad, CA, USA; and in We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women 1965-85 at Brooklyn Museum, NY, USA; which toured to Californian African American Museum, CA, USA; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, NY, USA; and Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, MA, USA.
