Australian duo The Aston Shuffle have created a playlist for the NGA’s Art+Sound pop-up program, inspired by our exhibition ‘David Hocnkey’s prints’. “We have approached the playlist in two different parts. Part one includes cutting edge and celebrated artists from the 60’s and 70’s who, like Hockney, pushed boundaries in their respective fields and who have since become iconic to that time. A number of these artists were associated with the emergence of the pop art movement, like David Bowie […]

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.

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. To achieve their ambition of creating an edition of sculptural prints, Tyler and his team spent nearly six years perfecting a process that literally pushed printmaking into a new dimension.
