Editions
Fawbush was established in 1997 by Thomas
Jones and Russell
Calabrese.
Its namesake, Joe Fawbush, began publishing and exhibiting prints in
1985. Among the earliest Fawbush projects was the first print by Kiki
Smith, Possession is Nine-Tenths of the Law, 1985, as well as
work by Joan Nelson, Donald Sultan, Michael Hurson, Michael Mazur and
Katherine Porter. Soon after, he and Jones opened Fawbush Gallery, at
which point they began exhibiting unique work by many of the artists
they had published. They also began establishing the careers of a
younger generation of artists, among them Karin Davie, Christian
Marclay and Elliot Green. The gallery closed after Joe's death in
1995, but a new publishing venture was borne from that history. Since
1997 Editions Fawbush has published prints and sculptural work with a
growing list of established artists as well as new work by the
gallery's original roster. Many younger artists, whose artistic
lineage embraces elements of Conceptual and Minimal Art, now
compliment this group.
Editions Fawbush projects have been
acquired for the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art,

Library, NY; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sand Diego, La Jolla,
CA; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; the Denver Art
Museum, Denver, CO; the Smith College Museum of Art, North Hampton,

Contemporary Art, Bordeaux, the Moderne Museet, Stockholm, the Kunst

been included in many of the artist's gallery exhibitions.
