Robert Motherwell's highly esteemed body of work as a printmaking artist. Motherwell made his first prints in 1943 and returned to printmaking in the early 1960s at the invitation of the ULAE print studio. His later work with Tyler Graphics, Gemini G.E.L., and printers working in his own studio, evolved into an impressive body of almost 500 editions.

Motherwell's pantheon of artists included the writers Mallarmé, Joyce and Poe, as well as the Spanish poets Lorca and Alberti, and artists Delacroix, Matisse, Goya, Pollock and della Francesca.
