As this story spans almost four decades we’ve just touched on a few things here and hope to explore it further in the new year with a dedicated ‘paper page’ on our website. Upon opening his own workshop in 1965, Tyler began a long and involved […]

Remembering Walasse Ting
In 1964 Roy Lichtenstein was joined by 27 of his contemporaries in contributing lithographic illustrations to One Cent Life, a volume of poems by Walasse Ting.

Michael Crichton on Robert Rauschenberg’s ‘Stoned Moon’ series
American born writer Michael Crichton (1942-2008) is well known for his adventurous thrillers and science fiction stories – Jurrassic Park, State of Fear, Andromeda Strain – and the medical television series ER. A great lover of art, Crichton built his own collection over many years. Following his death in 2008, many works from this collection went to auction at Christie’s, New York, in 2010: http://www.christies.com/features/auctions/0410/crichton/index.aspx. Robert Rauschenberg was one of Crichton’s favourite artists. Below you will find a link to a copy […]

Printing Rauschenberg’s ‘Sky garden’
by tylerblogs
