Book launch: Tyler Graphics: Catalogue Raisonné, 1986–2001
In 2025 the National Gallery of Australia has published the Tyler Graphics: Catalogue Raisonné, 1986–2001 documenting across three volumes the final works published by master printer Kenneth E Tyler, a seminal figure in the American print renaissance of the twentieth century.
During his esteemed career, Tyler collaborated with titans of modern and postmodern American art, working by the mantra ‘great prints are made by great artists’. He was known for pushing artists to dream big, and for creating new technology and exhaustive facilities to enable their creative potential.
Join us to celebrate the launch of this remarkable new title. Guests are invited to enjoy a complimentary welcome drink, followed by a panel discussion hosted by Dr Nick Mitzevich, Director in the James Fairfax Theatre.
Panelists include Dr Jane Kinsman, Editor and Distinguished Adjunct Curator, Kira Godoroja-Prieckaerts, former Kenneth E Tyler Assistant Curator, International Prints and Drawings, and David Greenhalgh, Curator, International Art.
The panel will reflect on the Gallery’s longstanding relationship with master printer Kenneth E. Tyler and discuss the significance of the Catalogue Raisonné. The conversation will offer insights into Kenneth Tyler’s legacy and his contribution to the evolution of modern printmaking.
The evening will conclude with a viewing of the current Kenneth Tyler exhibition, Proofs and Processes.
The Tyler Graphics: Catalogue Raisonné, 1986–2001 was made possible thanks to the generous support of Kenneth Tyler through the American Friends of the National Gallery of Australia. This publication is available to purchase from the National Gallery Art Store and all good book stores.
