Motherwell (1915-1991), abstract artist and print-maker, was the youngest of the New York school of artists that included Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning. His work often touched on political and social events and movements. And unlike his abstract expressionist colleagues, Motherwell became a renowned and celebrated print-maker. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions and retrospectives.
