Roz Chast
Sad Sacks, Worry Warts, Hellions and Bad Eggs: A new print series
November 19- January 9, 2010
We will host a booksigning for Chast on Saturday, December 19th from
4-6 with copies of her Theories of Everything which has recently been
published in paper back. The public is encouraged to bring their own copies
of Chast's books for signing.
Roz Chast has a new passion: carving rubber stamps with her signature
eccentric types. These assorted portraits have been categorized as "Sad
Sacks, Worry Warts, Hellions & Bad Eggs". After creating her cranky characters
she has populated various works on paper which combine images, text and
painting . One work was recently featured in the cartoon issue of The
New Yorker in a piece called "Crankster: the Site for Anti-Social Networking".
In addition to the works on paper we will exhibit a group of Chast's famous
Russian painted eggs which also feature portrait heads.
Chast has exhibited at the gallery since 2004 and this will be her third
solo exhibition. She is well known for her cartoons and illustrations
which are regularly featured in The New Yorker, and almost 50 prominent
publications. She is the author and or illustrator of numerous books including
most recently "The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z" with Steve
Martin.
