According to Riva Castleman, Michael Goldberg began working on his prints in the spring or summer of 1957: "Goldberg was essentially an action painter, so it made considerable sense for him to paint his compositions on Mylar, which then were transferred photographically to screens." (Riva Castleman, "Floriano Vecchi and the Tiber Press," in "Print Quarterly" (Vol. 21, No. 2, June 2004), p. 137.
