Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new edition with Detroit-based artist Beverly Fishman, titled Untitled (Depression) and releasing Thursday, November 10th, 2022. Within Fishman’s work, color and surface are calibrated for maximum effect, transforming the iconography of the pharmaceutical industry into hard-edged relief painting. 

Exhibited in Untitled (Depression),—the artist's first tondo edition, printed on rising museum board—Fishman’s evolving exploration of vibrant pill-shaped reliefs are created to attract immediate attention, mimicking the vigorous and persuasive tactics used by drug companies and their advertising agents: “[The shapes within the print] are appropriated from actual pills that I have found images of online, and the cuts in their surfaces correspond to the score marks that allow these drugs to be divided into smaller doses. [The form] connects them to the social problems of today.”
