"In 1973, Thompson created an eight-part series of serigraph prints signed "Tivoli Strasse 33" for the place where they were made, as was her practice. In these prints, bright blocks of color move and multiply from print to print in loose and semi-orderly patterns that provide a counterpoint to the weighty and more tightly organized segments of her Wood Pictures. Printed in a modernist palette of burnt orange, mustard, violet and forest green, the colors find parallels in the warm tonality and boldly painted sections in several reveal Thompson's wood works from the same period." - from With and Against the Grain: The Early Life and Work of Mildred Thompson by Katie A.
