Abstract

Ranging from Gauguin's lithographs on yellow paper to Warhol's portrait of Merce Cunningham on gift wrapping, from the tiny embossed gypsographs of Victorian invention to the linear constructions that Josef Albers made with the help of a computer, the exhibition culminates in the dramatic works of the 1970s, in which artists actually worked in paper at the wet stage. It includes works as diverse as David Hockney's twelve-sheet Diver painted in pulp and Rauschenberg's aromatic multiples sculpted from a mixture of pulp and adobe mud. Mounted out of stock and with only a handful of works specially purchased for it, the exhibition reveals the breadth and vitality of the print collecting policy that the Gallery has established.
