of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art,

Painting was Parker's primary artistic medium. During the
early 1960's, however, he experimented with printmaking techniques, principally
lithography. Most of these were created at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop
under the direction of the master printer, Garo Antreasian. The original
lithograph was probably printed at Tamarind. |
