Artwork Description:
The work was hand printed and published by the artist at The Center for Works on Paper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 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. This limited edition etching is executed on black Stonehenge paper with silver ink from France. The image comes from a Twelfth Century prayer book, 1186 CE, called the PSALTER OF BLANCHE DE CASTILLE, and the page itself titled, THE FALL OF THE REBEL ANGELS. The print size is 22 inches high by 15 inches wide, or 55.9cm by 38.1cm. I have chosen to limit this edition to an extremely small one of only eight prints, with the understanding that I will run a second edition of eight using a different colored paper and ink combination around the year 2017, when the lunar alignments of certain solar systems are in nexus with certain verses of Nostradamus. It is mt belief that fascism will begin to make a comeback in Spain and the United States around that time, as well as a rise in nationalism. I predict that Germany will become the leader of the democratic world.
