Item Number: 115388 Title: Proof : The Rise of Printmaking in Southern California Author: Lehmbeck, Leah (ed) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781606060933 Description: Los Angeles: Getty Publications, 2011. 30cm., hardcover, 256pp., 200 color illus. Exhibition held at Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena. Summary: The first goal of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop, founded in Los Angeles in 1960, was to “create a pool of master artisan-printers in the United States” to revive the medium of fine-art lithography. With essays by both established print scholars and new voices, this lavishly illustrated volume introduces the printmaking pioneers who nurtured an environment suitable for the founding of the country’s most significant print shop. By tracing the local printmaking communities, the academic establishment, as well as the significant influence of workshops like Gemini G.E.L. and Cirrus Editions, the catalogue addresses the spectacular spread of printmaking from its modern beginnings in Southern California within the larger narrative of postwar American art. Drawing on the extensive print collection of the Norton Simon Museum, the book includes works by the local founders of the movement such as John Altoon, Garo Antreasian, Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis, Ed Moses, Ken Price, Ed Ruscha, and June Wayne as well as by artists who traveled west to print in Los Angeles such as Joseph Albers, Bruce Conner, Lee Mullican, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Rauschenberg.
