The Optometrists makes a profession devoted to vision the subject of a print that rewards close looking. Dana Schutz’s drypoint carries the pressure of marks worked into copper into the inked surface of paper. Made with Two Palms in 2025, it extends her world of invented situations, where humour and discomfort can occupy the same space and bodily actions take on an unfamiliar intensity.
