  Frederick Mershimer

Frederick Mershimer has become one of the most acclaimed contemporary mezzotint printmakers, being featured in exhibitions and museum collections throughout the country. His mezzotints capture the majestic dynamism of the New York skyline at night, or the quiet of a snow shrouded Brooklyn street lined with brownstones.

At a distance Mershimers prints can seem to have an absolute photographic realism, but a closer looks shows the artists sensibility at work. There is a heightened intensity in the lighting and composition that distill the essence of the city.

His prints are in many major museum collections which include:

Corcoran Gallery
Whitney Museum of American Art
National Museum of American Art
Smithsonian Institution
New York Public Library
The Library of Congress
The Museum of the City of New York
