India
by Paula Scher
ABOUT THE PRINT
In Paula Scher’s remapping of the Indian subcontinent, a dense array of text lyrically twists this way and that, drawing the names and places of cities and countries that cohabitate the surface with exotic bursts of purples, pinks, yellows, and greens. This exquisitely composed and colorful image is Scher’s latest in a series that is preceded by maps of Africa, The Dark World, The United States Red and The United States Blue, China, NYC Transit, Manhattan at Night, and The World.
