The Great Graphic Boom: Amerikanische Kunst 1960-1990 [German]

By Sandstein Verlag

During the 1950s and 60s, the American art scene flourished with a vitality and originality that had significance far beyond the borders of the U.S. The American breakthrough started with the so-called Abstract Expressionist movement of the New York School, which was succeeded by new generations of artists and new movements such as Neo-Dada, Hard Edge, Pop Art, and Minimalism. The strong interest in printmaking that emerged among many artists was stimulated by famous print workshops founded from the late 1950s onward, such as Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) or Gemini G.E.L. With some 1,200 sheets by over 130 artists, the collection of American printmaking in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart is today one of the most important of its kind. The catalog presents works by John Baldessari, Lee Bontecou, Louise Bourgeois, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Agnes Martin, Robert Motherwell, Bruce Nauman, Barnet Newman, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Frank Stella, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol.
