A Creative Strategy and Technique of Modernism. Series are open systems, telling stories, toying with rhythms, permitting variations, and documenting creative processes. Andy Warhol's famous silkscreen prints made the serial iteration of images his trademark stratagem. In the mid-1960s, Pop Art and Fluxus had established the fine art print as a medium in which seminal work was being done. New graphic techniques such as serigraphy and offset printing, used with aggressive colors and punchy motifs, not only allowed for large numbers of copies, they also opened the door to an unprecedented engagement with the imagery of popular print and advertising media. Opening with an inquiry into how serial fine art prints are made, the book presents and contextualizes the explosive visual and political energy of graphic series. The numerous illustrations and essays are rounded out by an interview with Thomas Schütte and Ellen Sturm. With works by Josef Albers, Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Jim Dine, Dan Flavin, David Hockney, Jenny Holzer, Donald Judd, Ronald B.
