Felsen co-founded Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1966, and soon began to photograph the artists who came to work in the Gemini studio. Over the past two decades Felsen has worked with a number of artists who donated to FAPE’s Original Print Collection. His photographs of the artists during these production sessions have captured intimate insights into the creative process.
“The spirit of Gemini is best captured by the word ‘collaboration.’ It’s about artists and printers working hand-in-hand to create works of art. This same spirit prevails when I take photos. There’s a trust extended by the artists, allowing me to share so many remarkable moments with them. My greatest thanks go to them for this special permission they grant me.”
