BITCH
ARTIST'S FIRST SOLO SHOW IN MANHATTAN
MERKIN
176 Grand Street, NYC
7 December
2000 - 7 February 2001
New works on suede from New York's favorite canine abstract
expressionist artist, Tillamook Cheddar, aka Tillie.
A Jack Russell
Terrier bitch born 19 January 1999, Tillamook Cheddar is taking
the art world by storm. Coming off a nearly sold-out exhibition
last month at 105 Devoe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Tillie makes
her mark in Manhattan with a showing of her current works at
176 Grand.
MERKIN,
presented by 176 Grand in conjunction with RICE, – and tillamookcheddar.com,
is a vital selection of new drawings and sculpture by Tillamook
Cheddar. The artist explores the medium of suede mat board as
a platform for her vibrant color transfers, and lends her toothy
touch to one of America's most enduring icons, the baseball.
