Think there are images of the printing process somewhere, sure I read it takes a few hours or even longer to make each print.

Nice, congrats. I'm cash poor at the moment so I sadly had to pass this go around.

Strangely relieved these do very little for me, as I simply do not have the funds. Had been wondering if they'd grow on me before release after seeing the images so long ago. Strange too, cause she has seemed to no wrong in my books ever since I started paying attention to her a few years back. I'm sure they're lovely in the flesh, though.
Can anyone who knows a great deal about printmaking articulate effectively what an etching is, how it differs from the conventional serigraph/screenprint, and why these works benefit from such a process?
I take it they're a derivation of serigraphy. Just would love a little more insight. Did a little digging online, but nothing to appease my curiosity. Thanks in advance.

I think Plate Distortion 1 is amazing and would love to buy one but emails and phone calls have produced nothing so unless these hang around for a while it looks like Im out :-(
EDIT - now a proud owner of PD1! 18 sold already!

Lowpro, I have emailed you a PDF with a detailed explanation of how the prints were created. Here is the text:
1. Tauba began by experimenting with different methods of folding paper. She folded vellum that was cut the same size as the copper plate.
2. After intricately folding the paper she decided to cut it into parallel strips. Renee Bott used the plate cutter to make the slices while Tauba carefully collected and numbered the remnants from each slice.
3. The paper slices were unfolded and pieced back together like a puzzle on top of the copper plate. We worked on multiple compositions simultaneously and used small weights to hold down the unruly paper. Many compositions were rejected along the way.
4. The paper was misted with water to relax the folds and adhere it to the plate. The even numbered strips were removed.
5. The excess water was blotted off and the remaining strips acted as a stencil. The plate was spray painted to create a resist. The stencil was removed exposing the copper.
6. The plate was aquatinted and etched in acid. An offset from the first plate was used to create the second plate. Auerbach chose colors to show a spectral transition in both hue and tone. The color gradations indicate the order of the slicing.

Ask and thy shall receive. What a wonderful place.
Yet again, I am floored by her insanely methodical production techniques and attention to detail. Really just wished I liked the way they looked more. Oh well.

would you mind emailing me that victor?
these print intrigue me, but i concluded i didn't 'get' them.
would be nice to see the pdf to fully understand.
still on the fence re plate distortions.
i may just grab the large 50/50 to complete that set instead.

Hope you find the link useful and enjoy. |

Any reason why pd 1 is an extra $1'000. I do like it in blue but love the first fold/ slice more.
Too many recent purchases are currently stopping me buying.

im really disappointed with the price hike over the past editions. I don't doubt the quality as the pixel etchings I have hung are gorgeous. Mostly upset because I can't afford them now. Also seems a little out of wack based on the rest of her pricing structure. All things considered, I am sure they will look great.

glad to have snagged a pair - hope they didn't oversell though!
so, diasec style mounting on clear perspex should work for these?
they are signed and numbered on the back of the print...

He borrowed the idea from me  jk I know McGinley has opted for clear plexi in place of Sintra lately, so this seems like an ideal route. Only problem might arise if the signature is small and along the bottom edge and you wanted to additionally float frame them, as the mount for the frame might obstruct it. But these might be perfect for the 'naked' edge anyhow, in which case you'd want the signature to not be sprawling and along the bottom edge so that the brace won't obstruct in anyway. |
