Career

Artist Collaborations

As a fine art publisher, Coplan Hurowitz has collaborated with artists to connect them with nontraditional platforms and to create works that would be accessible to the masses. For example, in 2013, she worked with artist Ellsworth Kelly to recreate a dress he originally designed in 1952 in a limited edition of 10 dresses called, Untitled. The dresses were fabricated by Francisco Costa at Calvin Klein Collection.[1][2] They are now part of the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute[3] and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.[4]

In 2014, she published a print by Jasper Johns, Untitled, printed at ULAE,[5] that was inserted in Art in America, as a gift to the readers on the occasion of the magazine’s centennial.[6] Prints from the edition are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[7] the Philadelphia Museum of Art,[8] and the Yale University Art Gallery.[9] The edition was recognized as a unique instance of art going against the grain of “money and glitz” in giving original artwork away for just the price a magazine.[6]

In a similar instance, Coplan Hurowitz published a lithograph print by Christopher Wool, 2018 for W magazine, printed at ULAE, as an insert of the publication for the annual Art Issue.[10]

Author

Coplan Hurowitz is the author of John Baldessari: A Catalogue Raisonne of Prints and Multiples, 1971-2007, published by Hudson Hills Press, 2009.[11][12][13] In the book, she documents and describes Baldessari’s limited editioned artworks over the course of 36 years of the artist’s production.[14] Of the body of work profiled in the book, Baldessari noted, “Inexpensive art should be available to all. And printmaking is an excellent answer.”[15]

She is a contributing author to Letters to Ellsworth, published by the Jordan Schnitzer Foundation, 2011.[16]

Art Advisor & Curator

Coplan Hurowitz was a specialist at Sotheby’s and Christie’s in the Contemporary Print Department for seven years.[17]

Schnitzer and His Family Foundation” at Sotheby’s; a collection of John Baldessari editions at Fendi, New York;[19] and an Ellsworth Kelly print installation at Calvin Klein Collection, New York.[20] She has been involved with museum exhibitions including John Baldessari: A Print Retrospective, Legion of Honor, 2010.[21]

She is a writer for publications, has been quoted in the press,[22] and has been a guest speaker alongside of Ellsworth Kelly, Francesco Costa, and Harold Koda at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an evening with the Costume Institute;[2] and alongside of Jonathan Adler and Sean Kelly at the Armory Art Fair for a panel discussion sponsored by the New York Times T Magazine.[23]
