Suzanne Caporael, American, b. 1949: "Shore Lead," 2000, color etching and collagraph with hand-applied graphite; transfer from Tandem Press, 2001.69.
American artist Suzanne Caporael was a Guggenheim Fellowship awardee in 2020 and its easy to see why, when touring the brainy but visually pleasurable new exhibit at the Chazen, The Nature of Things. There are many prints (published by Tandem Press) and some paintings from three decades of Caporael's work, drawn from the permanent collection at the Chazen. The museum is currently open Tuesdays-Fridays, and reservations are recommended.
press release: American artist Suzanne Caporael takes the natural world as an inspiration for her paintings and related prints. Suzanne Caporael: The Nature of Things features nearly seventy artworks spanning three decades drawn from the Chazen Museum’s permanent collection.
