His work has been widely celebrated in major museum retrospectives such as \u003ci\u003eKerry James Marshall: Painting and Other Stuff\u003c\/i\u003e (Antwerp, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Madrid) in 2014 and \u003cem\u003eMastry\u003c\/em\u003e (Chicago, New York, Los Angeles) in 2017, and through numerous awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBest known as a painter, Marshall has throughout his career also produced a vast graphic oeuvre that has been seldom seen and rarely documented. An assiduous worker, he spent his youth acquiring time-honoured skills of art—drawing and painting, but also wood engraving and printing. By his mid-twenties, he recalls, 'I could paint in egg tempera.... I was good at printmaking. I could do woodcuts, etchings, aquatints. I knew all of those techniques.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of his prints have been produced not in professional print workshops, but by the artist, working alone in his studio. They range from images the size of postcards to his 50-foot-long, 12 panel woodcut \u003cem\u003eUntitled\u003c\/em\u003e (1998-99), to iterations of his ongoing magnum opus, \u003cem\u003eRythm Mastr\u003c\/em\u003e. And while some have entered prominent museum collections, many exist only in private collections or the artist's archive and are unknown to the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431399637228,"sku":"9789493039759","price":180.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9789493039759.jpg?v=1774557900","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/kerry-james-marshall-the-complete-prints-by-susan-tallman-9789493039759","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
