About Fred GenisÂ
Fred Genis printed lithographs for over 40 years, collaborating with more than 80 distinguished artists across three continents — including Willem de Kooning, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, John Cage and Brett Whiteley.
Lithography requires a unique personal collaboration between artist and printer. Fred describes his part in this highly technical process as being “like water” — quiescent, fluid, unformed, but able at any instant to show, suggest, assist or even withhold. (See articles in Bio.)
His work is now held in major collections including the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Nederlands Steendrukmuseum, and Limerick City Gallery of Art in Ireland.
