Technique Tuesday: Frank Stella’s Moby Dick domes

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. 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.

Joan Mitchell, Sunflowers II 1992
