Take a Peek at Utah’s 15: The State’s Most Influential Artists, Vol. II

We are bleary eyed from looking at copy and images, but the book is finally at the printer’s, and we’re excited for the book release party Friday, February 8, at Rio Gallery, 6-8 p.m..

As part of our Utah’s 15 project we have been working on a book to examine the influence of these 15 artists.

Bound in gray linen, 92 pages, with essays on the artists by some of Utah’s best writers, photo portraits by Simon Blundell, and examples of their work, this is a unique publication on some of Utah’s most important artists.

Essays on: Pat Bagley, Edward Bateman, Connie Borup, Geralyn Dreyfous, Stefanie Dykes, Jann Haworth, Amy Jorgensen, Beth Krensky, Kim Martinez, Joe Ostraff, Pilar Pobil, Jorge Rojas, Linda C. Smith, Tony Smith, Stephen Trimble.

Below is a peek at the book.
