Cirrus archives at LACMA

In 1986 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art acquired the entire archive of artworks produced by Cirrus Editions, including etchings, lithographs, mixed media prints, screenprints, and woodcuts along with corresponding plates and woodblocks.[4] The archive represented every single print that was editioned through Cirrus Editions.[4] In 1995, LACMA presented 130 artworks from the archive in the exhibition titled "Made in L.A.: The Prints of Cirrus Editions" curated by Bruce Davis.[5]
