I love printmaking so I have been collecting prints from a very diverse group of artists over the last 20 years. Here are some prints by the artist James Siena. These are reduction
boxwood engravings titled “Circular Battery”.

Join us Thursday, December 4th, for a special Studio Salon evening featuring James Siena (@jsienastudio ), presented in partnership with @miles.mcenery.gallery . Limited tickets available and going fast!
Our 2nd Salon will feature celebrated New York–based artist James Siena, whose intricate “visual algorithms” delve into artificial intelligence, data transmission, and the systems that shape our world. His work is included in major collections from the Brooklyn Museum and The Met to the Morgan Library and the Whitney.
Enjoy festive cocktails, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and an intimate curatorial conversation between Siena and art historian/critic Elizabeth Buhe (@elizabethbuhe ), plus a private viewing of Siena’s current exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery.
All proceeds support Studio in a School, helping ensure future generations of NYC students have access to transformative visual arts education.

"All art starts somewhere, the mind and hand of the artist risking a first move. But when I look at Siena's mad tangles of line and color, so complex and alluring, I'm not sure that knowing his point of departure would clarify a thing. Because it's not where a painting starts, but how it ends, that matters. That said, one senses that in Siena there's a plan, even if said plan is obscured by the vagaries of process. Nor can we know exactly how this true believer sticks to the plan in line after line, shape after shape, curve after curve, and interval after interval, as his hand and eye make their way to the inevitable end." - Geoffrey Young, "James Siena, The Doing"
Visit our James Siena exhibition at 511 West 22nd Street, through 20 December.

"Pre-internet, one didn’t hear the word “algorithm” all that often. But since the late eighties Siena has been at the forefront of knowing that an algorithm can be a tool for calculating and colonizing visual space. Put to work, a structural building block can generate complexes of ocular delight. If I do this, and then this, and then this again…." - Geoffrey Young, "James Siena, The Doing"

Dynamic Duos in Print: Katia Santibañez and James Siena with Mae Shore
Fri. Jun 20, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT
Take a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of a unique printmaking collaboration.
Artists Katia Santibañez and James Siena join publisher Mae Shore to discuss their joint printmaking process and the creative partnership behind a striking series of collaborative prints—an eight-month exchange of carving, printing, and decision-making that fused their distinct styles into four shared works. Working in shifts, the artists built each layer in a process likened to a game of chess, where every move was calculated and final. Fourhand Choker, one of these prints, is now part of the Library’s permanent collection and featured in the current exhibition Dynamic Duos: The Art of Working in Pairs.
This talk is presented in connection with Dynamic Duos: The Art of Working in Pairs, on display in the Celeste Gottesman Bartos and Mahnaz Ispahani Bartos Exhibitions Gallery at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building through August 2, 2025.
To join | Please register for an In-Person Ticket. Doors will open around 1:30 PM. For free events, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time, and seats may become available at that time. A standby line will form 30 minutes before the program.
