National Gallery of Australia Presents Kenneth Tyler Printmaking Collection Exhibition
The National Gallery of Australia in Kamberri/Canberra is hosting 'Proofs and Processes: The Kenneth Tyler Collection' from July 19, 2025, to August 2, 2026. The exhibition showcases works from six prominent American artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, James Rosenquist, and Frank Stella—who collaborated with master printer Ken Tyler between 1986 and 2001. Tyler revolutionized printmaking through innovative techniques and large-scale productions, significantly influencing 20th-century American art. The gallery holds the world's largest archive of Tyler's materials, including over 7,400 items. Accompanying the exhibition is a comprehensive three-volume catalogue raisonné documenting 1,040 works by 28 artists from 1986 to 2001, edited by Dr. Jane Kinsman.
