5748 (For Jewish Museum)
1987
Joel Shapiro's "5748 (For Jewish Museum)" represents the artist's exploration of printmaking during a pivotal period when he was expanding beyond his signature sculptural practice. Created in 1987 as a woodcut, this work demonstrates Shapiro's characteristic attention to form and space translated into the two-dimensional medium. The title references the Hebrew calendar year 5748, reflecting the work's connection to Jewish cultural themes and its creation for the Jewish Museum. This impression, numbered 39 of 54, measures 53.34 × 43.815 cm and was acquired from Pace Prints.
