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.
