Book Signing!

We are excited to announce Printmaker Tom Hück will be doing a book signing here at SLCA for his new book The Devil is in the Details. This inventive fine art book features his prints from 1995 – 2020 Written by Greg Kessler and published by Fine Print Small Press. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet Tom and grab a piece of Mid-west history.

Tom Hück is a satirical printmaker whose intricately carved, bawdy, politically biting woodcuts follow in the tradition of Albrecht Dürer, Jorge Posada, and Honore Daumier. This large woodcut of Gluttony took the artist four years to complete, Monkey Mountain Kronikle is the fourth in a series of triptychs that address, in the artist’s words, the downfall of society. Here he follows in the footsteps of the sixteenth-century Netherlandish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder whose engraved series of the Seven Deadly Sins included an image of Gluttony. In 8 jam-packed scenes, he intertwines comments on racism and the obsession with food in this country.

This groundbreaking piece will be on display here at SLCA for our “Summer Invitational” exhibition.

Hück’s artist talk and book signing start at 1 PM SATURDAY, JULY 8th.

Join us at Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art. 2004 Baltimore Ave. Kansas City, MO 64108

Please, Pre-order his book and RSVP for the event. The book is $100. Limited copies will be available at the signing.
