LITHOGRAPHY TAMARIND INSTITUTE CALIFORNIA TTP THE TAMARIND PAPERS AUTUMN 1979

Description: The Tamarind Papers - Technical, Critical and Historical Studies on the Art of the LithographAutumn 1979 issue. Volume III, Number 1 - 28 pagesVery good used paperback, clean unmarked text. The Tamarind Institute is a lithography workshop created in 1960 as a division of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM, United States. It began as Tamarind Lithography Workshop, a California non-profit corporation founded by June Wayne on Tamarind Avenue in Los Angeles in 1960. Both the current Institute and the original Lithography Workshop are referred to informally as "Tamarind."Tamarind can be credited with single-handedly reviving the medium of lithography in the US, both insofar as they made the medium "respectable" and viable and also in that their dedicated research led to technical and economic breakthroughs with a visible impact on lithography in particular and printmaking in general; e.g., lightfast inks, durable and consistent printmaking paper, precise registration systems, aluminum plate printing, and lightweight, large diameter rollers are but a few important aspects of printmaking which either originated at or were refined by Tamarind. The workshop also established several now-customary procedures for editioned prints, such as precisely recording and documenting every edition, and affixing both a workshop chop and a printer's chop to each proof or impression in recognition of the printer's important role.Loc: GL2-2StoreAdd to FavoritesFeedbackLITHOGRAPHY TAMARIND INSTITUTE CALIFORNIA TTP THE TAMARIND PAPERS AUTUMN 1979 The Tamarind Papers - Technical, Critical and Historical Studies on the Art of the LithographAutumn 1979 issue.
