Backwards intaglio: making Frank Stella’s ‘Swan Engravings’

August 18, 2017 by tylercollection

With the support of the Tyler Graphics team, Frank Stella was able to create innovative prints that radically reinterpreted the possibilities of printmaking processes and materials.

December 19, 2016 by tylercollection

The creation of the three dimensional Moby Dick (domes) series 1992 was one of the most technically challenging printmaking projects that Kenneth Tyler and Stella undertook in over thirty years of collaboration.
