Known as a painter, Nicole Eisenman’s forays into sculpture over the past few years have earned her accolades in gallery shows and the 2019 Whitney Biennial; now, her decade-long experimentation with printmaking is the subject of an informative and visually gratifying show at the Print Center New York. Emphasizing process and creativity, a series of eight prints made during stages of the creation of the 2012 etching ‘Watermark’ illustrate her progress. Here in the final version, Eisenman brings us into the intimacy of her family home, complete with her mother, father and her two children who read books at center. We see the scene through Eisenman’s eyes as she eats from a bowl and looks out over a room alive with unspoken thoughts. (On view through May 13th).
