From Library Journal:

Founded in 1957 by Tatyana Grosman, Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) has remained one of the most vital fine art print workshops in the United States throughout its 40-year history. This book, the catalog of an exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery, offers a rich sampling of the work done at ULAE from its beginnings to the present. Represented here are some of the preeminent names in modern art: Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and Helen Frankenthaler, to name a few. The excellent layout and high quality of the 260 illustrations lovingly capture the prints, most of them presented one to a page and without distracting text. A nice introduction by Corcoran curator Jack Cowart is followed by a memoir by Tony Towle, a poet who worked at ULAE in the early years. The more recent history of ULAE is outlined by Sue Scott, guest curator of the exhibition. A handsome volume offering a view of what will be remembered as one of the significant endeavors of modern art in America, this is a book for all collections.?Mark Woodhouse, Elmira Coll. Lib., NY
