Published in Boston in January 1999, this print portfolio presents a personally selected retrospective review of 10 images painted by the artist since 1983. Working in collaboration with Tamarind-trained Master Printer Carolyn Muskat of Muskat Studios, the artist has rendered these images anew in the medium of color lithography.

 

The selection of images made by the artist involved several interacting considerations: a reasonable chronology and representation of subjects painted; images that have evoked the broadest range of response in viewers; the visual dynamics of the portfolio as a whole; and finally, the artist's sense of what must be included.

 

The ten images are presented in the following chronological order:

 

DUCKBILL HAT

CAKE PAN

BURNT COOKIE SHEET

ENTOMBED

TOO BIG PEACHES

CREDO

HARBOR/MEMORY

BIG RED

TUG

CIRCE

 

The complete suite includes ten original lithographic color prints plus a Colophon page in an edition of 50 Arabic numbered impressions, 5 Artist’s Impressions, 1 Bon'a Tirer, 1 Printer's Proof, 1 Archival Impression, and 2 Hors Commerce sets.

 

Each image is uniquely sized, the smallest being 8"x9" and the largest 11"x7 All images are printed on 12"x16" Somerset Satin white acid-free fine art paper. Each sheet is signed, dated, numbered, and titled by the artist and bears the printer's embossed chop. The set is presented in a 18"x13" lipped clamshell portfolio box, covered in hunter green linen and embossed in silver on the front cover with the artist's logo. The Colophon page was designed by Geoffrey Fried of the Art Institute of Boston. The portfolio boxes were made by Portfolio box, Inc. of Providence, Rhode Island.

 

The portfolio is available directly from the artist, or through selected galleries, at a purchase price of $2500, shipping included.
