Circa 1966: American Prints from the Collection

September 03, 2016 - January 29, 2017 - This exhibition has a  selection of prints dates from 1960 to 1974, a period of renewed interest in printmaking in the United States. Numerous print studios opened throughout the country, including Universal Limited Art Editions Tamarind Lithography Workshop, and Gemini G.E.L. These workshops were staffed by highly trained master printers and played host to major artists, many of whom had never made prints before. Together, the artists and printers experimented with both traditional and innovative techniques and explored a variety of styles from the bold, gestural imagery of abstract expressionism and the crisp, precise forms of hard-edge abstraction to the eye-catching patterns and figures of pop art.
