The artist Steven Sorman was born in Minneapolis in 1948. He began collaborating with the master printer Kenneth Tyler at Tyler Graphics in 1984 for a series of collage graphics and monoprints, which combined etchings, woodcuts and drypoint artworks with lithographic technology.
Steven Sorman, whose graphic art often uses unique paper qualities, enjoyed the innovative possibilities that Tyler Graphics offered. Sorman's graphic works are richly structured and have a painterly effect. The collaboration continued until Kenneth Tyler's graphic studio closed down in 2001.
Graphic printer Kenneth Tyler became one of the significant and innovative art entrepreneurs of the post-war era in the United States.
Among the artists who collaborated with Kenneth Tyler includes Willem De Kooning, Sam Francis, Alberto Giacometti, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, Steven Sorman, James Rosenquist, Robert Motherwell, Joan Mitchell and Andy Warhol.
