Artwork Description:
One zinc plate, six-inches high by nine inches wide, 15.24cm by 22.86cm, was employed. My studio methods included INTAGLIO, AQUATINT, DRYPOINT, and CHINE COLLE. The print size measures 11 inches high by 15 inches wide, or 28cmx38cm. I used a black oil-based etching ink French and printed on RivesBFK white etching paper. A mulberry bark paper was employed in my CHINE COLLE process
. The image is based on one of my photographs taken in 1987, Paris. This is a One of a kind etching in that the chine colle series will be executed in different colors, each one differently from the other. Please note that this etching is shipped and sold to the buyer without a frame or mat. This keeps the price reasonable and also allows the collector a wide range of choice in framing selection. For shipment, a sturdy cardboard box is employed. 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 box and securely packed with bubble wrap. The price does NOT shipment costs to the collector.
