John Hoyland explored many forms of printmaking, including lithographs, screenprints, aquatints and woodblocks. In the 1960s his prints mirrored the powerful architectural images of his paintings on canvas. From the late 1970s he began to view printmaking as a more fully independent activity, and adopted a more improvised and experimental attitude to the process. Hoyland worked with many print studios including Wolfensberger in Zurich, Grafica Uno in Milan, Atelier Lacouriere et Frelaut, Paris, Curwen Chilford, Cambridge; and in London, Kelpra Studios, Advanced Graphics and Coriander Studios.
Both prints were produced with Kip Gresham and published by Curwen Chilford Prints, Cambridge, UK.
