Bob Cross joined the intaglio team at Tyler Graphics in June 1981 after graduating from the Atlanta College of Art. One of the first projects he worked on was Frank Stella ’s Tallageda three, followed by the Swan Engravings and Circuits series. Cross worked at TGL for seven years. Since leaving the workshop in 1988 he has received an MFA from Ohio University, and now runs his own print shop – Haselrick & Cross, Inc. – in Elkhart, Indiana.

A few words about TGL

In the spring of 1981 Ken Tyler called and invited me to join Tyler Graphics Ltd following my graduation from The Atlanta College of Art.  In my first week there I was having lunch with Tony Caro, Clement Greenberg, Ken, and our group of amazing printers on the lawn behind TGL, which at the time was Tyler's converted garage on a small estate in Bedford Village. 

It is mind bending to collaborate with a group of major artists and leading figures from the art world whom up until this time had only existed for me in art history books, art magazines, and museums.  There is a real magic to what Ken and his staff created at TGL.
