Proofs and Processes exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia Canberra, features works on paper by six icons of Abstraction and Pop art. Helen Frankenthaler, Roy Liechtenstein, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, James Rosenquist and Frank Stella worked with the Tyler Graphics print workshop from 1986-2001 at the mount Kisco premises in New York State.

HELEN FRANKENTHALER Matrices for Madam Butterfly 2000, woodblocks with ink. Frankenthaler produced a preliminary painting on a wood panel. Yasuyuki Shibata (born 1968 Japan, USA since 1991)traced its mark and divided them into separate printing layers. He then carved 46 woodblocks using a variety of woods. Each woodblock was hand-printed with coloured pigment, and repeated 58 times for each print.
