Stanley William Hayter: From Surrealism to Abstraction July 2, 2009

Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) has been widely celebrated for his influence on creative printmaking in Europe and North America. This exhibition features approximately 55 of Hayter's most important prints. The range of Hayter's work in the exhibition includes his early black-and-white surrealist engravings, outstanding examples of his technical innovations, unique proofs and color variations, late linear abstractions inspired by motion and mathematics, and fully worked copperplates and plaster casts, which he deemed artistic creations in their own right. In addition, the exhibition will also include a select group of prints by some of the best-known artists to work at his print workshop.
