ULAE, established in 1957 by Tatyana Grosman, began producing lithographs in collaboration with artists such as Robert Motherwell, Larry Rivers, Sam Francis, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Their prints, collected by museums around the world, sparked a revival of the fine art of printmaking in America. Today, ULAE continues to work with artists to implement their intentions in publishing small editions and artists’ books.
The Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery is open to the public free of charge Monday through Thursday 9am – 9pm, Friday 9am – 4pm and on weekends from 11am to 4pm. For more information visit www.artleaguli.org or call (631) 462-5400.
