Label TextFounded in 1964, the Barcelona fine art printmaker Polígrafa Obra Gráfica established itself as one of the top firms of its kind in Europe. After the death of Francisco Franco in 1975, and at the end of Spain's 36-year-long fascist regime, Polígrafa was widley credited for bringing new art and artists into the country. One Polígrafa innovation was a short-term artistic residency program. In 1988 and 1989 the firm invited eight prominent California-based artists - Billy Al Bengston, Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Laddie John Dill, Craig Kauffman, Ed Moses, Eris Orr, and Ed Ruscha - to spend two weeks in Barcelona and develop prints based on their experiences and impressions of the city.
