Print Matters: The Kenneth E. Tyler Gift

by Sean Rainbird

The American printmaker Kenneth E. Tyler collaborated with many of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century, including Helen Frankenthaler, David Hockney, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, James Rosenquist and Frank Stella, and helped them create an astonishingly diverse range of prints. His technical expertise and dedication to the medium swiftly earned him international renown. On the occasion of Tyler's donation of over 400 prints to Tate, this richly illustrated publication - which includes an interview with Tyler by Tate curator Sean Rainbird and an essay by print specialist Pat Gilmour - examines a unique legacy of creative partnership, and artistic and technical innovation.
