This collection honors the memory and achievements of Atlanta artist Wayne Kline who passed away in 2005. Wayne was a very accomplished artist who channeled his passion for printmaking into the establishment of Rolling Stone Press. The collection of prints represents works by the talented artists who created lithographs at Rolling Stone Press in collaboration with Tamarind Master Printer, Wayne Kline, over the past 21 years. The press was founded in 1984 and operated on Calhoun Street in Atlanta, Georgia. Choosing to work with every genre, Kline challenged talented artists to work outside of their medium and to reinterpret their work through the lithographic process. The prints created at Rolling Stone Press have recieved significant critical attention world wide.

The press was founded in 1984. It was a litograhy atelier,a workshop where hand printed limited edition lithographs were produced by artists working in close collaboration with Tamarind Master Printer, Wayne Kline. Rolling Stone Press was Atlanta's first and only Professional lithography atelier. Hand printed limited edition lithographs were produced by a diverse group of local and nationally known artists. When Wayne passed away in 2005 the collaborative printing aspect of Rolling Stone Press also ended. The inventory of prints has become the Rolling Stone Press Print Collection. This collection remains available for sale through Wayne's son, Andrew Kline. A portfolio viewing of the collection is available for private showings.
