Technique & Style
Each piece in the portfolio was executed using screenprinting, a process that allows for bold graphic effects and the replication of complex imagery. The artists employ the medium to explore a range of visual strategies, from photographic realism to abstracted forms, reflecting the varied aesthetic approaches of the contributors while maintaining a cohesive print format.
History & Provenance
The ten-screenprint portfolio was assembled in 1992 as a collaborative project among the listed artists. Shortly after its completion, the work entered the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it remains on view as an example of early‑1990s print collaborations that foreground multiple artistic voices within a single object.
Context
Produced at a time when collaborative print initiatives were gaining prominence, the portfolio reflects a broader trend of artists joining forces to explore the possibilities of mass‑media production. The inclusion of both established and emerging figures underscores the era’s interest in dialogue across differing artistic practices and cultural perspectives.
Legacy
While the portfolio is not attributed to a single creator, its presence in MoMA’s collection highlights the significance of collective print projects in contemporary art history. The work continues to serve as a reference point for curators and scholars examining the role of collaborative printmaking in the late twentieth century.
