About Universal Limited Art Editions

ULAE is celebrated for its nearly seventy years of steadfast dedication to supporting the work of contemporary artists and sustaining the tradition of fine art printmaking in the United States. It was founded in 1957 in a small cottage on Long Island by Tatyana Grosman (1904-1982) as a printmaking workshop dedicated to creating fine art lithography. She established a guiding ethos centered entirely on the artist’s vision by offering exclusive and nearly limitless access to the lithography press. ULAE soon gained recognition for its collaboration with young artists of the sixties, including the luminaries Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and led the way for a revival in the medium in the United States.

Bill Goldston assumed the position of Director in the early 1980s and followed Grosman’s precedent by inviting younger generations of artists. He built a larger, state-of-the-art printmaking facility staffed by several highly skilled master printers to ensure ULAE could meet their ambitions. To this day, under the directorship of Bill’s daughter Larissa Goldston, ULAE continues to collaborate with the most prominent and innovative artists of our times in lithography, intaglio, woodcut and digital processes.

The Museum of Modern Art collects all of their editions, from its first to the most recent. There have been several major exhibitions of work produced at ULAE, including a commemoration of its first twenty-five years at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1990, and a celebration of its fortieth anniversary at the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, DC, 1997.
