About the Item

Artwork sold in perfect condition - Off-Print # 1 (Donaustauf 1973) from the portfolio Step by Step (Coffret Prestige # 1) This is a Minimalist framing & presentation of the artwork : The Fine Art print on Baryta paper is mounted on a 2mm dibond plate and fixed by magnetic strips to the profile of the black anodized aluminum box frame with a very sober presentation The possible change of the work is very easy and quick but upon request can be fixed Definitely in the frame profile according to your desire. This image was captured on film (1973) The selected negative was printed on Baryta paper by the author and then limited digital reproduction printed later (2021) on fine art paper Photo Rag Baryta 310 gsm for highest age resistance using pigment inks which are known for their longevity. Steps, a ladder, almost all from the bottom to the top, to show you are climbing. Or ? It's up to everyone to decide, to think about which metaphor they prefer. But it's still a personal matter. For some it will be happy, easy or joyful, while for others, Jörg says in a text written in 1982, the image will refer to a painful memory, a painful sensation, an ordeal. Because this image is "us", it is only us but it is all of us. German photographer Jörg Krichbaum is clearly one of the "greats" of his generation. He is appreciated not only in his country but also in Italy, Belgium or France. His work, his artistic discourse, cannot be caught at first glance, because they cannot be seen in a single shot, but when they are presented in sets that have become coherent despite their disparities. This is what led the artist to accept as many exhibitions as possible. Following his death in 2002, his beneficiaries choose to preserve and protect this photographic archive, but do not give it the visibility it deserves. It was only in 2016 that an inventory and analysis work began in Brussels, when these archives were entrusted to Brussels Art Edition. Today, those in charge of the Krichbaum Fund are determined to transfer this archive as soon as possible to a European cultural organization (museum, specialized library, etc.) in order to ensure its final conservation and presentation to the public. Before this transfer, the curator and the beneficiaries have chosen to give the opportunity to great amateurs and collectors to acquire thematic “portfolios”, all made up of original silver prints, of exceptional quality, on baryta paper, with very rich midtones and really dense blacks. They are all signed and dated by the artist himself, all authenticated by the curator. Prints so rare that they can be considered unique pieces, even if some were printed in 2 or 3 copies in the 1980s and 90s. The detailed biography of the artist can be found on Wikipedia, his books and catalogs of his exhibitions are still for sale on the Internet (by Amazon and others), everything allows the enthusiast to verify for himself that the today's offer is truly exceptional.
