Robert Cottingham � part 4
An American Alphabet (1997 - 2011). 26 colour lithographs in an edition of 40, printed and published by Tandem Press, Madison, WI.
A project more than twenty years in the making. Cottingham began work on the first gouaches for the Alphabet while at the McDowell colony in 1993, though the photographs from which the images are drawn extend back decades before that. Over the following four years Cottingham made oil paintings of the full alphabet. In 1997 he made lithographs of K and F with Tandem Press, and he has been executing a few letters a year ever since. The last three - U, Y and Q were completed in 2012.
With a few other letters I have identified as belonging to previous subject matter, or from the same source material, I have also shown the relevant artwork.
While Cottingham�s 26 alphabet paintings remain united in a corporate collection in Germany - a complete alphabet spelling nothing in particular - the prints have been slipping out into the world for 14 years. Some have been set aside to be sold as complete sets, others have been acquired individually or in small groups.
