According to Corlett, Lichtenstein's Haystack and Cathedral series of lithographs were his first collaboration with the master printers Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles in 1979. Lichtenstein's experiments using Monet's subjects in his own paintings began in 1968, and he continued to work on them through these print series. For the Cathedral series, a negative of Lichtenstein's ink drawing was laid over a Benday dot stencil on a photo-sensitive plate. Corlett 79.
