Robert Motherwell: Prints from the 1970s

The exhibition comprises sixteen screenprints from the 'Basque Suite' and 'London Series I' and 'II' published by Marlborough Gallery in the early 1970s. An enthusiastic and innovative printmaker, Motherwell produced editions throughout the course of his career and utilized a wide variety of materials and techniques, often collaborating with master printers. Along with the 'Africa Suite,' these three series of prints represent Motherwell’s first projects making full use of the screenprint medium. Printed in collaboration with the Kelpra Studio in London, the 'Basque Suite' and 'London Series I' and 'II' demonstrate the bold, highly saturated areas of color and flat surfaces for which screenprinting is known.
