It includes established masterpieces such as Picasso’s The Weeping Woman and Johns’s Ale Cans, as well as rare examples of experimental works that reveal an artist’s thinking as he or she evolves imagery through stages. This exhibition demonstrates how each of these individual artists approached the printmaking medium. Several went on to enlarge on the traditional capacities of techniques, as with Munch’s jigsaw-style cutting of the woodblock others focused on one technique as with Toulouse-Lautrec’s embrace of color lithography for large-scale posters.

Some of the artists presented here were introduced to printmaking in art school or were taught by friends others were invited to make prints in professional workshops aided by 'master printers' who became trusted collaborators.

The exhibition ranges from the 1890s to the present day, and represents one view across the breadth and depth of The Museum of Modern Art’s collection by focusing on eight artists who have embraced printmaking as integral to their creative process. This exhibition, with nearly 90 prints selected from the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art, has been planned especially for the AXA Gallery.

NEW YORK.- The Axxa Gallery presents 'Artists & Prints: Masterworks from The Museum of Modern Art.' Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edvard Munch, Emil Nolde, Pablo Picasso, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Georg Baselitz, and Louise Bourgeois are all celebrated for their work in painting or sculpture, but it may be surprising to know that they have also made hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of printed works.
