Joe Tilson

New York Decals 1, 2, 3 & 4 (di Martino p.45)

Joe Tilson's New York Decals 1, 2, 3 & 4 comprises four vibrant screenprints created in 1967 that exemplify the artist's engagement with pop art and urban imagery during this period. Each print was meticulously produced by the renowned Kelpra Studio and published by Marlborough Graphics, featuring full sheet impressions on cartridge paper accompanied by protective glassine envelopes. The work's serialized format and bold graphic aesthetic reflect Tilson's interest in repetition and variation, hallmarks of contemporary printmaking practice in the 1960s.
