Featuring 125 working proofs and prints produced at Crown Point Press in San Francisco, one of the most influential printmaking studios of the last half century, Yes, No, Maybe goes beyond celebrating the flash of inspiration and the role of the imagination to examine the artistic process as a sequence of carefully considered decisions.

Among the 25 artists represented are those with longtime ties to Crown Point Press—Richard Diebenkorn, John Cage, Chuck Close, Sol LeWitt, and Wayne Thiebaud—as well as those whose association is more recent, such as Mamma Andersson, Julie Mehretu, Jockum Nordström, Chris Ofili, Laura Owens, and Amy Sillman.

Yes, No, Maybe will travel to the McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, Texas, from January 28 to May 17, 2015.
