This tribute to Master Lithographer Fred Genis showcases the incredible legacy of work he produced from 1968 to 1974 in New York.

During his forty year career, Genis worked with world renowned artists from USA, Europe and Australia, and collaborated with a total of eighty artists, leaving a significant international contribution to the fine arts.

A revival of the lithographic art form in America during the late sixties and early seventies saw Genis working as a partner in the Hollanders Workshop in New York. He created works with some great American artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Willem De Kooning, James Rosenquist, Don Nice, John Cage, Robert Morris, to name a few.

Young Americans features key iconic works, from Pop art images like James Rosenquist’s Spaghetti, Don Nice’s Big Sneaker and Tootsie Pops prints to John Cage’s collaborative Mushroom Book to Robert Morris’s political anti Vietnam War series.

Opening Event: Friday 1 September, 5 – 7pm.
