Six Other Chairs

In 1966 the artist was asked by the Pratt Center for Contemporary Printmaking to make 7,500 copies of a tip-in print for ARTIST’S PROOF, A Journal of American Printmaking. To save time, he made this hand-screened print, ganged up six images to a sheet, and then cut them up individually to make the required number of single prints. The artist made this edition from a small number of the un-cut sheets. This “Six Other Chair” image later inspired him to make the 1980 “Set of Chairs” suite in which each of the six chairs is a different combination of colors.
