A Closer Look at Robert Rauschenberg's "Echo When"

Curator of Art Dr. Tracy Bonfitto gives viewers an in-depth look at "Echo When" by American painter and graphic artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925 - 2008) with Soviet-Russian poet and writer Andrei Voznesensky (1933 - 2010). The lithograph is part of a suite of six prints that feature both images and poetry and is part of the Center's Universal Limited Art Editions Collection.
Universal Limited Art Editions, founded by Tatyana and Maurice Grosman, has been credited with the American revival of fine art lithography in the mid-twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, when New York was experiencing intense artistic activity and growth, Tatyana Grosman was an inspired visionary with the ability to choose and attract the best young artists to explore lithography at her home studio. She hired master printers-notably Robert Blackburn, Zigmunds Priede, Donn Steward, Keith S. Brintzenhofe, and Bill Goldston-who could take on the challenges of the artists' explorations, solving difficult technical problems and developing new techniques which pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking.
