In 2026, Gemini G.E.L. celebrates sixty years of extraordinary artistic collaboration and technical innovation. Since its founding in Los Angeles, Gemini has redefined the landscape of printmaking, transforming the concept of editioned works through its unique synthesis of artistic vision, master craftsmanship, and an enduring spirit of experimentation. As we mark this milestone, we celebrate not only six decades of groundbreaking work, but an ongoing pursuit of creative exploration.

(Almost) Every Year: Sixty Years of Printmaking at Gemini G.E.L.
September 10, 2026 - January 8, 2027
'(Almost) Every Year: Sixty Years of Printmaking at Gemini G.E.L.' highlights the extraordinary range of prints created at Gemini’s Los Angeles workshop from 1966 through the present day. Rather than focusing monographically on the lives and “greatest hits” of the many celebrated artists who worked at Gemini, curators Susan Dackerman and Helen Molesworth have chosen to feature selections from Gemini's remarkable output from (almost) each of its sixty years, creating a presentation of the work within the framework of changing cultural contexts, artistic strategies, and individual styles.
