Mark Dion - Birds of the High Line

Mark Dion - Birds of the High Line - 2016

Mark Dion has created a new 2-color screenprint to support Printed Matter's forthcoming updated 2nd edition of Field Guide to the High Line (2017). "Birds of the High Line" is a call to order for a disparate cast of avian wildlife you may or may not ever encounter on the elevated High Line park. The print offers a comedic appraisal of scientific methodology and ordering of the natural world, and serves as a companion piece to the quirky artists’ field guide and handbook of thoughts, musings, observations, case studies, and histories (alternative, conventional, and otherwise), published in Dion's "Field Guide".
