Inked Up, an exhibition highlighting 30 artists from the Art Students League of New York, features 47 prints inspired by New York City’s park system. Since 1892, aspiring artists have flocked to the League’s elegant Beaux Arts building on West 57th Street to study with professional painters, printmakers and sculptors. Located just two blocks south of Central Park, the Art Students League offers its 2500 students easy access to the city’s galleries, museums and the seasonal pleasures of its many parks. In those leafy retreats, League printmakers have discovered graceful bridges, stunning skylines and beguiling creatures. Returning to their studios, the artists translate experience into designs on linoleum blocks, metal plates, or stone slabs. “Inked up” and pressed to paper, these surfaces yield striking prints of our nation’s best urban sanctuaries.
