By sight: H. 24 3/4 in. x W. 17 in. In 1963 Poleskie opened a screen-printing studio in a storefront on East 11th Street. This became Chiron Press, the first fine-art screen-printing shop in New York. The business was soon moved to larger quarters at 76 Jefferson Street. During the five years he ran the operation the names of the artists who had prints made at Chiron Press reads like a who's who of the artists of the 60s and includes such figures as Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Alex Katz, Robert Motherwell, and Helen Frankenthaler. One of the printers at Chiron Press was the young artist Brice Marden. Poleskie's own prints from this time, rather minimal landscapes, the people of the earlier works had walked out of the picture, were purchased by numerous museums including the Metropolitan Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, in New York, and the National Collection in Washington, D. C. (AskArt.com)
