Mel Bochner is an American conceptual artist known for his contributions to the development of conceptual art in the 1960s. He has worked in various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Bochner's art often explores language, color, and the nature of artistic representation.

Monoprints are a form of printmaking where each print in the edition is unique. Unlike traditional printmaking methods, such as etching or lithography, where multiple identical copies are produced, monoprints offer the artist the opportunity to create individual and varied prints.
