Adja Yunkers

Adja Yunkers (1900-1983) studied at Lenigrad Art Academy in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The Latvian artist traveled through Europe and Cuba studying and creating art until he settled in New York. There he taught at various institutions including Columbia University, Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture, and the New School for Social Research.

Yunkers explored multiple techniques and styles in printmaking during his residency at Graphicstudio in 1969. Yunkers produced elegant images that combined blind embossing and lithography. Aegean IX-69 combined the elder artist’s old world elegance, broad connections to the New York art world, and passionate discussions of his work.

The artist exhibited widely in the United States and Europe, with retrospectives at the Baltimore Museum of Art, Utah Museum of Art, Museo de arte modern in Mexico City, the Brooklyn Museum and the Fine Arts Museum of Long Island.
