Artwork Description:
This print is from an edition of only twelve prints. I intend to execute another edition of twelve in the year 2018 for mystical reasons, but in another ink and paper color combination. The image is based upon an Albrecht Durer print, MELENCOLIA. The Magic Square dates from Alchemy and Metaphysical Studies of the 1400s. The numbers within the square all add up to the same amount in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. The image size is 9 inches high, 22.9cm, by 6 inches wide, 15.25cm. I hand printed and published this edition at The Center for Works on Paper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Please note that this etching is shipped to the collector without a frame or mat. This keeps the price low and allows the collector personal choice in matt selection and framing. A sturdy cardboard box is employed for shipping the work. The etching is first wrapped in two layers of acid free glassine and then placed between two archival boards. This is next placed into the shipping carton and securely packed with bubble wrap. The Absolute Arts Dot Com price includes all handling costs, shipment supplies, and the coast of the shipment box. Mailing costs are added.
