Editions Alecto
takes its title from the pioneering print publishers who produced
contemporary artists' prints in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s, and
promoted the idea of painters and sculptors being given the freedom to
originate and realize ideas in multiple form. The book brings together
for the first time over 20 years' worth of 2-D graphic art and 3-D
multiple objects, and puts into context the ideas and mechanisms that
helped make the graphic medium a central force for a generation of
British, American and European artists.
Comprising over 200 images and documentary photographs the work of such
significant figures as David Hockney, Eduardo Paolozzi, Patrick
Caulfield, Richard Hamilton and Gillian Ayres features.
