Who Are Your Favorite Artists? Ephemera Sorted by Artist

From the “Artist Spotlight” section on Gallery 98’s Artists Page.

Every art announcement card is unique.  Each promotes a specific exhibition taking place at a particular place and time. An important decision is made about which image to include: A work in the exhibition? A detail of a work? Or maybe a portrait of the artist? The fun of collecting these cards lies in their differences. Each tells its own story, and collections focused on a single artist provide an extended portrait that can sometimes span decades.

Gallery 98 has included below some choice items by our favorite artists. A quick way to find ephemera connected to your favorite artists is to go to our Artist Page where over one thousand artists are listed alphabetically.
