ABINGTON, Pa. — The Print Center in Philadelphia has selected Bonnie Levinthal, associate professor of visual art at Penn State Abington, as a finalist in its 91st annual International Competition. Her portfolio is included in the current online exhibition with the other finalists and semifinalists.
The competition, one of the oldest in the United States, highlights local, national and international artists who utilize printmaking and/or photography as critical components of their work or whose work pushes the boundaries of traditional photographic and printmaking practices. The online exhibit provides a unique opportunity to view the pieces by these artists in a forum that emphasizes individual talent and expressiveness rather than a specific exhibition topic.
Two curators from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, juried the competition: Kelly Baum, the Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon Polsky Curator of Contemporary Art; and Jennifer Farrell, associate curator, Drawings and Prints. The pair reviewed more than 2,000 images submitted by 400 artists.
