Thinking About Extinction and Other Droll Things:
Recent Prints and  Drawings by Edward Koren

on view May 12 through September 9

Join us at 3:00 pm to welcome Vermont artist Edward Koren as he opens his exhibition Thinking About Extinction and Other Droll Things: Recent Prints and Drawings by Edward Koren. This exhibition features recent etchings and lithographs by Edward Koren, who is best known for his iconic cartoons of furry humans published in The New Yorker magazine. This summer’s show features a largely unknown body of prints, some fresh off the press and never before exhibited. Included in the selection of works are those featuring curious skeletal creatures in a landscape of ruined Gothic and Classical architecture inspired by Koren’s reading of The Sixth Extinction by Berkshire County resident Elizabeth Kolbert. This reception is free and open to the public.

Koren has long been associated with The New Yorker magazine, in which he has published over 1000 cartoons in addition to many covers and illustrations. He has been a contributor to The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, Esquire, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, and The Boston Globe among others. He has also published six collections of cartoons which first appeared in The New Yorker, the most recent being “The Hard Work of Simple Living”.
