About the Item
This image is printed in black ink on Hahnemühle Copperplate paper in an edition of 12 from a copper photogravure plate made from the artist's original 35mm camera negative. The scene was shot in New York City during a snowstorm. The camera's flash illuminated the falling snowflakes. The artist's signature, title, date and edition number are in pencil on the front, lower margin. This print is included in Volume 1 of "Toward What Sun?", the artist's ongoing series of photogravure prints. It is available singly or as part of the ten prints that comprise Vol.I.
Philip Van Keuren has been making photographs for many years. His images are prompted by everyday observations that reveal the world as sublimely beautiful while simultaneously unknowable.
Photogravure is an intaglio printmaking process wherein a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which upon which a film positive has been exposed with high-intensity UV light is adhered to a copper plate and then etched. The result is a high quality intaglio print that can reproduce the detail and continuous tones of a photograph. Photogravure was developed in the 1870’s and became one of the first widely used techniques for reproducing photographic imagery. Photogravure is unique among photo-printmaking techniques in that it can be described as truly photographic; i.e. the photographic image is realized in continuous tones rather than broken up, via a half-tone screen, into dots of white or black that blend visually to simulate a photographic appearance, as in photo-lithography, photo-etching and photo-silkscreen. The photogravure print is printed on paper from the etched copper plate that has been inked and wiped as a regular intaglio plate.
Photographers of the Photo-Secession and Pictorialist movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries prized photogravure for its ability to render a wide tonal range, soft tones and details. The technique later fell into disuse as most photographers utilized the convenient and high quality silver gelatin papers to print their images. Interestingly, the rise of digital photography has sparked a renewed interest in some of the early techniques of photography, and photogravure has been enjoying something of a renaissance in the past 20 years or so.

- Echolocation OneBy Anna KunzLocated in Bloomington, IL"Echolocation One" is a monotype that Anna Kunz created during her visit to Manneken Press in November 2022. The prints in this series were made using oil based inks and paint sticks and hand-printed on Arches Cover paper. Anna Kunz continues to draw inspiration from the ocean; its hypnotic, cyclical movement and sense of mystery, which she has referred to as, “the most abstract space in nature.” This group of works is titled after the principle referred to as Echolocation, used by marine mammals as an extension of sight, to steer space and identify objects. In these works the artist has played with the idea of exchanging the animal behavior of using echoing sound as a means to navigate and locate, with vibrational hues as a way to compose, lead the viewer’s eye into unfamiliar relationships, and to materialize the unknown. Focusing on the elements of simple geometric forms and color, she imbues her compositions with energy through a process of intuitive call and response, suggesting a way for the viewer to enter and navigate the compositional spaces. The saturated colors in Kunz’ vocabulary are both opaque and transparent, choreographed in porous fields of the paper, and lead to symphonic compositional structures. While working on the "Echolocation” prints at Manneken press, the studio was filled with the ambient music of Brian Eno which created another kind of sonic inspiration for the echoing forms and colors found in the works. "Echolocation One" is a unique monotype, 30" x 27"; a bleed print (the image extends to the edges of the paper). The front, lower right margin carries the artist's initials and date in pencil; the title is on the back. The Manneken Press blindstamp is impressed into the lower left margin. The print is sold unframed. Framing recommendations: float mounted on museum board or floated within an 8-ply window mat, in a quality, contemporary gallery frame. Anna Kunz lives and works in Chicago. Her work is represented by Alexander Berggruen New York; Mc Cormick Gallery, Chicago; and Galleri Urbane in Dallas. Her upcoming exhibition entitled "The Tide" can be seen at Berggruen San Francisco in February and March 2023. Kunz has been awarded numerous artist residencies, including the Golden Family Foundation Residency, Edward Albee Foundation Residency, the Space Program at Marie Sharpe Walsh Foundation and the Roger Brown Artist...Category
