"'Editions Alecto' takes its title from the pioneering print publishers who produced contemporary artists' prints in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s, and promoted the idea of painters and sculptors being given the freedom to originate and realise ideas in multiple form. The book brings together for the first time over 20 years'-worth of 2-D graphic art and 3-D multiple objects, and puts into context the ideas and mechanisms that helped make the graphic medium a central force for a generation of British, American, and European artists. Comprising over 200 images and documentary photographs, and a catalogue of Editions Alecto publications, the work of such figures as David Hockney, Eduardo Paolozzi, Patrick Caulfield, Richard Hamilton and Gillian Ayres features." -Jacket.
