The Wild West emerged as a popular trope in modern visual culture in the 20th century. It flourished in film and television, where creative license granted a particular dramatization of the history of westward expansion in the United States. The Western, as the genre came to be known, was defined by frontier fantasies of lawlessness and conflict. A “Cowboys and Indians” narrative was common, and supplied a hero-versusvillain dynamic in the form of settlers against Native Americans. This mythology was an enduring source of fascination for Andy Warhol: he collected Native American crafts, wore cowboy boots, and directed his own Western, Lonesome Cowboys (1968), which satirized the genre’s machismo with a homoerotic portrayal of the cowboy and prompted an FBI investigation into the artist.
In Cowboys and Indians, one of Warhol’s last major printmaking projects before his death in 1987, he returned to the mythology of the American West. The portfolio of ten screenprints brings figures from Western cinema and American history together with objects of Indigenous culture. Warhol’s images have various sources. Kachina Dolls, Plains Indian Shield, and Northwest Coast Mask are Native American artifacts that Warhol photographed at the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Collection in New York, now the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, while Teddy Roosevelt, General Custer, and Geronimo are appropriated from archival photographs. For Western film icon John Wayne and sharpshooter-turned-vaudeville star Annie Oakley, Warhol used promotional images from Wayne’s 1962 film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Oakley’s advertisements for Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. Warhol’s equal manipulation of each image suggests that there is little distinction between the stereotypes we maintain and the heroes we uphold.
The portfolio’s publication landed Warhol in legal trouble when the partnership licensed to use John Wayne’s name and image, managed by his descendants, filed a lawsuit alleging copyright infringement. Warhol responded by recalling each editioned John Wayne, erasing the number and re-coloring Wayne’s neck scarf or pistol to make each print unique and evade copyright laws.

Edward Ruscha
When Edward Ruscha arrived in Los Angeles, California, in 1958, the Golden Age of Hollywood was coming to an end. The Supreme Court’s 1948 ruling in United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. had dismantled Hollywood’s centralized system of film production, ending the dominance of major studios such as Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, and 20th Century Fox. A “New Hollywood” emerged in its wake. Characterized by the rise of independent, experimental filmmaking, the Hollywood of the late 1960s rejected the thematic conventions of classic cinema in favor of critical confrontations with the realities of contemporary life.
Amidst this changing landscape, Ruscha’s vision of Hollywood remained consistent—it was less a site of ideological import than a symbol of fantasy for the artist. It is not incidental that he took the city’s foremost monument as a subject. The Hollywood Sign, first erected as Hollywoodland in 1923 as an advertisement for a real-estate company and later shortened to Hollywood in 1949, is situated on Mount Lee in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. Ruscha could see the sign from his studio on Western Avenue, where he worked from 1965 to 1985, and he claimed to use it as an indicator of the city’s smog levels. This functional use of the sign perhaps prompted Ruscha to contemplate its hidden significance, and in his Hollywood prints, he brings together his myriad associations of the sign and the city.
The artist’s 1968 Hollywood screenprint presents the landmark in a wide-lens landscape format, influenced by the panoramic movie screen and Ruscha’s experience driving west to Los Angeles from his native Oklahoma. The background’s fading sunset references Ruscha’s identification of California with what he describes as “space, sunrises, and sunsets.” Ruscha employs false perspective to emphasize the sign’s cresting letters, as the sign is actually nestled within the mountain.
Ed Ruscha at his Western Avenue studio, Los Angeles, California, c. 1970
When Ruscha was awarded a fellowship at Tamarind Lithography Workshop in 1969, he continued to explore Hollywood as a subject. Working closely with master printer Donald Kelley, he executed Hollywood in the Rain and Hollywood with Observatory, two rare black-and-white lithographs of the landmark. Like Hollywood, Hollywood in the Rain utilizes a sunken perspective, yet the lithograph assumes an uncharacteristically film-noir aesthetic that highlights Ruscha’s embrace of printmaking as a means to formally experiment with his recurring themes.
Hollywood with Observatory, which features both the Hollywood Sign and the Griffith Observatory, is Ruscha’s only print that correctly situates the Hollywood Sign. Here, he employs an exaggerated horizontal format to highlight the mountainous topography of Los Angeles in a strip-like composition that recalls his 1966 book Every Building on the Sunset Strip. In the book, Ruscha photographed every storefront on the two-mile strip from a moving truck, creating a continuous reel of images.

Frank Stella
From 1967 to 1971, Frank Stella created his Protractor series, a group of ninety-three paintings that explored the titular shape through various geometries and color combinations. He approached the visual language of the series in print on three occasions: Newfoundland Series (1971), Sinjerli Variations (1977), and Polar Coordinates (1980). Typical of Stella’s early printmaking practice, each portfolio takes a single painting from the Protractor series as its point of departure. The 1968 painting Sinjerli, Variation I lays the compositional groundwork for Sinjerli Variations: a concentric form outlined by two half-circle bands. The set of six lithographs with screenprint then expands on its painted counterpart, offering alternative formations and colorways that echo Stella’s interest in the translation of a painted subject into print.
The concentric geometry of Sinjerli Variations emerged during an important transitional period for the artist. In the fall of 1963, Stella traveled to Iran with Henry Geldzahler and Stanley and Shirley Woodward. Geldzahler, the first curator of contemporary art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was advising the Woodwards on their collection. The group toured sites across the country, and Stella closely recorded his observations of local art and architecture.
At the Dome of Soltaniyeh, a 14th-century tomb that served as the burial place of the Ilkhanid ruler Oljaytu, Stella found inspiration in the mausoleum’s decorative design elements. The exterior of the dome is finished in distictive turquoise-blue faience tiles and the interior brickwork features calligraphic inscriptions of the names Allah, Muhammed, and Ali, three central holy figures in Islam. Stella was drawn to the evenly spaced bands of equal width in the patterns, and, in his notebook, sketched a similar design. The sketch marked the beginning of Stella’s experimentation with the band as a form, which first appeared in his 1965–66 Irregular Polygons series and developed into the interlocking forms on display in Sinjerli Variations
The title of the series is derived from the archaeological site of an ancient Hittite city in southern Turkey, known for its concentric, double-walled citadel. For Stella, who often drew inspiration from international travel, Sinjerli Variations reflects his engagement with Middle Eastern culture and precipitates his turn toward maximalism in the 1970s.

David Hockney
David Hockney met Kenneth Tyler in 1965 in Los Angeles, where the master printer had just opened a new workshop, Gemini Ltd. Shortly after, Tyler joined forces with Sidney Felsen and Stanley Grinstein to form Gemini G.E.L., which would become a powerhouse publisher focusing on technically advanced printmaking.
In 1973, Tyler and Hockney began work on the Weather Series, a set of six intricate lithographs with screenprints influenced by stylized Japanese woodblock prints. Sun was laboriously rendered in vivid color using seven lithographic plates and a gold silkscreen layer, resulting in a shimmering example of Hockney’s naturalist style. Shortly after the completion of the Weather Series, Tyler parted with Gemini G.E.L. to found his own workshop, Tyler Graphics Ltd., in Bedford, New York. It was here that Hockney created his Lithographic Water and unique Paper Pools series. Afternoon Swimming is unusual among the pool prints of this period due to the inclusion of the human figure. Abstracted pink limbs are presented in joyous motion, echoing the splashing water and speaking to the influence of Matisse’s late cut-outs.
By the 1980s, Hockney had grown weary of the constraints of traditional lithography, which confined the artist to the workshop. Tyler proposed a solution known as the “Mylar method,” in which the artist creates drawings for each individual plate on transparent sheets of thin Mylar that are overlaid to visualize the final composition. Hockney used this technique to create Moving Focus, a series of twenty-nine lithographs, many of which were drawn on site during a visit to Mexico. Moving Focus embodied Hockney’s resistance to one-point perspective, which he likened to “looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed Cyclops—for a split second.” Amaryllis in a Vase presents reverse perspective in tight framing and monumental scale.

Richard Pettibone
Richard Pettibone first encountered the work of Andy Warhol in 1962, when Warhol debuted his series of Campbell’s Soup Cans at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. Pettibone admired the polarizing paintings. “Many, many of the artists who saw it really hated it,” he recalled. “I told them, this may be the worst art you’ve ever seen. But it’s art.” Two years later, Pettibone produced his first replicas: two screenprinted and hand-painted miniatures of soup cans from Warhol’s series. The exactitude and scale of these works came to define his appropriative practice, which he extended to works by Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, and other contemporary artists of the 1960s.
Though Andy Warhol, “Cow,” 1966, Andy Warhol “Flowers”, and Roy Lichtenstein, “Masterpiece,” 1962 borrow imagery from iconic Pop art works, replication was not just homage for Pettibone, who insisted that his works were not miniatures. Instead, the unique scale of his paintings—derived from reproductions in printed media, allegedly Artforum advertisements—situates Pettibone at the forefront of appropriative art, an artistic strategy that rose to prominence in the 1980s and posed questions about authorship and originality.

Claes Oldenburg
One of Claes Oldenburg’s most treasured childhood toys was a miniature version of the Chrysler Airflow automobile. Designed in the 1930s by Carl Breer in collaboration with famed aviator Orville Wright, the Airflow was the first full-sized American car to prioritize streamlining. Although production was plagued by delays and the car was ultimately a commercial failure, the Airflow had an enduring cultural impact on automotive design.
In New York in the early 1960s, Oldenburg began creating soft sculptures—sagging textile interpretations of everyday objects. During this period, he formed a friendship with filmmaker Robert Breer, the son of Carl Breer. Together, they visited Carl’s home in Chicago to see an early Airflow model, reigniting Oldenburg’s childhood fascination. A distinguished draftsman, Oldenburg sketched the vehicle and studied its components for a planned sculpture. Although he never realized the large-scale work, the artist exhibited a series of small-scale models along with life-sized canvas tires, radiators, and engines at Sidney Janis Gallery in 1966.
When the artist revisited the subject at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles later that year, it marked a transformative period in Oldenburg’s practice, bridging the human-scale soft sculptures of the 1960s and the monumental works that defined his later career. His first sculptures were partially deflated and muted in color, reflecting the worn character of Lower Manhattan. Oldenburg’s Profile: Airflow multiple was designed to embody the sleek, industrial nature of Los Angeles. In the artist’s own words, it was to “be clear in colour, transparent like a swimming pool but with a consistency like flesh.”
Though Gemini G.E.L. was on the cutting edge of printmaking technology, Oldenburg’s vision presented an immense challenge for the studio’s master printer, Kenneth Tyler. In all, the project took over two years of experimental labor. Oldenburg spent an entire year carving the wooden model for the mold, and the formulation of the polyurethane overlay had to be outsourced to industrial chemists. When the work was first published, the plastic quickly shifted in color, and the entire edition had to be recalled and reconstructed to achieve a lasting teal hue.
