Since 1974 Tyler Graphics Ltd. has offered printmaking facilities of unsurpassed sophistication to twenty-nine artists, from Anni and Josef Albers to Robert Zakanitch.

Judith Goldman's lively profile of Kenneth Tyler follows, vivdly conveying the creativity and determination of this irrepressible master printer. She traces his career from his ealry days as an art student at the Art Institute of Chicago through his experiences at Tamarind Lithography Workshop and Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles to his establishment of Tyler Graphics Ltd. - In the first of six essays on the work itself Jack Flam perceptively places Robert Motherwell's collaborations with Tyler in the context of the artist's long involvement with Abstract Expressionism. This is followed by E.C. Goosesen's skillful analysis of gestural works by Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, and Nancy Graves. Robert M. Murdock's discerning essay focuses on geometric abstractions by artists including Jack Tworkov, Ellsworth Kelly, and Michael Heizer. Elizabeth Armstrong, who organized this volume, incisively investigates the work of Pop artists such as Richard Hamilton, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtenstein. Richard H. Axsom devotes his fine essay to Frank Stella's diverse projects at the Tyler workshop. The book concludes with Leonard B. Schlosser's capsule and Ruth E.
