Lichtenstein to Warhol: the Kenneth Tyler collection

Abstract

By offering an almost limitless range of techniques in print workshops that celebrated collaboration, creativity and experimentation, master printer and publisher Kenneth Tyler attracted some of the most talented artists in America - Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, Nancy Graves, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, Donald Sultan and Andy Warhol. Many of the artists were breathtaking in their innovation and technical virtuosity in a revitalised era of printmaking in the latter half of the twentieth century that has been labelled a 'print renaissance'. Lichtenstein to Warhol: The Kenneth Tyler Collection features exceptional works from these major artists, together with dynamic candid photography that helps to explain the printmaking process and show the artists' evolution.
