Dear all,

In relation to earlier postings about silk-screens made, the following.

Does anybody know which printmakers did work with Norval? It would be interesting to hear their view about Norval paintings especially because most print where made in the 70’s and the beginning of the 80’s. So far I am aware of the following printmakers:
- Triple K Cooperative Inc. (1971 - 1980, Red Lake);
- Great Grasslands Graphics Company (ca 1970 - ca 1979, Winnipeg);
- ALVO Canadian Art Inc. (ca 1978 - ca 1984, Toronto)
- Superb Graphics Toronto (ca 1978 - ca 1984, same as ALVO?)

Beside Coghlan Art who made 3 litho’s in 1992, are there any other printmakers?

I would like to request the above-mentioned silkscreen printmaker’s to joint this blog and share their thoughts.

Thanks,
X-Ray
