GEMINI G.E.L.
We welcome Ayn Grinstein, co-owner of Gemini G.E.L., as this year’s keynote speaker! Sidney B. Felsen and Stanley Grinstein founded Gemini G.E.L in Los Angeles and made it a worldwide headquarters of graphic experimentation working with artists Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg, among many. When the art world began expanding in the ‘60s and ‘70s, a growing number of artists became interested in investigating the creative opportunities offered by prints and multiples. Within a
year or two of its founding, Gemini became the West Coast destination for innovative printmaking and now celebrates 60 years. /
We kick-off PrintHouston 2026 Friday with a reception followed by Ayn Grinstein's presentation. On Saturday Dena M. Woodall, curator, prints and drawings at MFAH, along with Ayn will discuss the Gemini G.E.L. print exhibit in the dedicated Prints and Drawings Gallery. Following will be a talk about the techniques and prints created at Gemini G.E.L., to be held in the Print Studio.

We are honored to share that works published by Gemini G.E.L. are now on permanent display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as part of Fisher Collection Reimagined, celebrating the transformative gift of the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection to SFMOMA.
Among the works on view are four editions published by Gemini G.E.L. that were acquired by the Fisher family and have now entered one of the most significant museum collections in the United States:
Jasper Johns ‘High School Days,’ 1969. Lead relief and glass mirror 23 x 17 in. Edition of 60
Jasper Johns ‘Light Bulb,’ 1969. Lead relief 39 x 17 in. Edition of 60
Claes Oldenburg ‘Geometric Mouse Scale C,’ 1971. Moveable 3-dimensional object, black anodized aluminum 24.5 x 20 in. Edition of 120
Claes Oldenburg ‘Geometric Mouse Scale D,’ 1971. Moveable 3-dimensional object, die cut laminated photo offset printed paper 17.5 x 14 in. Unlimited edition
These works reflect the enduring ambition that has defined Gemini since its founding in 1966: to collaborate with the most important artists of our time in the creation of editions that are, unequivocally, works of art. Seeing them installed within the Fisher Collection at SFMOMA is a source of tremendous pride — and a testament to the lasting significance of the artists and works that have been at the heart of Gemini’s mission for sixty years.
Fisher Collection Reimagined is on view at SFMOMA now. @sfmoma

Final week to experience ‘Impressions of Los Angeles: 60 Years of Printmaking at Gemini G.E.L.,’ curated by Susan Dackerman. Thank you to everyone who has visited and celebrated this very special 60th anniversary exhibition with us.
Spanning six decades of collaboration and innovation, the exhibition brings together works by John Baldessari, Tacita Dean, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Analia Saban, Richard Serra, and more—tracing how artists have captured and reimagined Los Angeles through weather, atmosphere, and city life.
On view through May 1. We look forward to welcoming you before the show closes and be sure to stay tuned for Part II of our 60th anniversary exhibition coming this fall.

Tacita Dean: Eclipse Drawings and Analia Saban: Data Center on view at Gemini G.E.L. from May 9th through September 4th, 2026.
Tacita Dean’s twelve screenprints arise from her observation of a total solar eclipse in Eagle Pass, Texas — drawings made with sunlight itself, suspended against deep black grounds.
Analia Saban turns to woodcut, one of printmaking’s oldest processes, to render the invisible infrastructure of our digital world tangible and material.
Both exhibitions reflect the deep, long-standing collaborations between Gemini and its artists — at the heart of what we have done for sixty years.
