Paper Cut: Works on Paper

Upsilon Gallery | New York is pleased to present Paper Cut, a group exhibition celebrating works on paper, from editions to unique works, on view Thursday, March 12th through Saturday, April 18th, 2026 at Upsilon Gallery, 23 East 67th Street, New York. 

The exhibition brings together works by internationally recognized masters, Georg Baselitz, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Robert Longo, Yoshitomo Nara, Julian Opie, Kenny Scharf, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol, alongside gallery artists SoHyun Bae, Hannah Lim, Ioanna Gouma, Osvaldo Mariscotti, and Bernd Zimmer. Spanning lithographs, screenprints, woodcuts, and unique works in paint and pigment on paper, Paper Cut highlights the breadth of artistic approaches within the medium and its enduring role in the development of Modern and Contemporary Art. 

Anchoring the exhibition are artists whose work has fundamentally shaped the visual language of the last century. Andy Warhol remains one of the most influential figures of twentieth-century art, redefining the relationship between image, media, and everyday life while producing motifs that continue to resonate across generations. Georg Baselitz stands as a commanding force in European painting, widely recognized for his radical inversion of the figure and his lasting influence on the evolution of Contemporary representation. Frank Stella’s groundbreaking contributions to abstraction, from his early Minimalist investigations to his later explorations of spatial complexity, have secured his place among the most consequential artists of his generation. 

The exhibition also highlights artists whose work has become deeply embedded in the global cultural imagination. Yoshitomo Nara’s unmistakable figures have achieved international recognition, merging Japanese visual traditions with a distinctly personal and emotionally charged iconography. Robert Longo has developed a powerful visual language informed by photography, cinema, and mass media, creating images of striking intensity and scale.  

Together, these artists represent pivotal moments in the development of Modern and Contemporary Art. Paper Cut offers a direct encounter with practices that have shaped the visual culture of the past century, positioning the exhibition as both a curatorial celebration and a refined acquisition opportunity.  

Opening Reception: Thursday, March 12th | 6-8 PM
