Ugo Mulas－New York: The New Art Scene｜2019

Ugo Mulas－New York: The New Art Scene｜2019

“A precise contact sheet matrix—where the passage of time and the raw momentum of artistic creation are frozen into geometric order.”

Published as an official exhibition poster by the renowned Matthew Marks Gallery in New York, this print showcases the extraordinary archival work of Italian-born photographer Ugo Mulas, drawn from his historic series New York: The New Art Scene.

In the mid-1960s, Mulas traveled to New York and gained unprecedented access to the studios of artists who were redefining modern art—including Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol. Rather than focusing solely on finished artworks, Mulas was fascinated by the gesture, labor, and temporal flow of creation itself. By featuring an unedited contact sheet with its original frame numbers and film margins, this poster turns the darkroom contact print into a captivating graphic object. The black backdrop creates a high-contrast floating window that highlights the rhythmic sequence of human movement.

As an authentic gallery exhibition publication (73.5cm x 51cm), this poster pairs Mulas’s granular monochrome aesthetic with crisp, minimalist gallery typography at the bottom. Its rich documentation of art history, darkroom contact-print format, and cool architectural balance make it a highly sophisticated centerpiece for modern minimalist homes, photography studios, architectural firms, and curated art archives.

「精準的底片印樣矩陣—將時間的流動與藝術創作的真實動態，凝固於幾何秩序之中。」

這幅官方展覽海報由紐約著名當代藝廊 Matthew Marks Gallery 印製發行，收錄攝影大師 Ugo Mulas（烏戈·穆拉斯） 最具歷史意義的紀實代表作《New York: The New Art Scene》。

1960 年代中期，Mulas 深入紐約當代藝術的核心，走進 Jasper Johns、Robert Rauschenberg 與 Andy Warhol 等前衛藝術家的工作室。他不僅捕捉完成的藝術品，更將視角聚焦於創作時的動作、專注與時間推進。海報直接呈現了暗房底片印樣（Contact Sheet）的原始形態，保留了底片邊框與連貫的拍攝格數。深邃的純黑背景襯托著中央的白框與格子影像，將攝影紀錄轉化為極具視覺張力的平面結構。

此海報為藝廊官方原版展覽出版物（73.5cm x 51cm），將 Mulas 帶有銀鹽顆粒感的黑白階調，與 Matthew Marks Gallery 簡潔優雅的字體完美結合。其深厚的當代藝術史底蘊、經典的底片印樣格式與冷靜沉穩的幾何美學，能為現代極簡居所、攝影與設計工作室、私人空間或當代藝廊牆面注入沉靜且具無可比擬質感的藝術氣場。
