Alberto Burri
Blacks and Whites I ( Acetates) - Plate F - Lithograph Embossing with 1969

1969

About the Item

Hand Signed. Edition 34/90 prints plus 15 out of commerce Artist's Proofs in Roman Numerals. Publisher : 2RC Gallery The work is part of the "Black and white" folder that Alberto Burri realised in 1969, using an elaborate mix of techniques, such as lithography, chalcography and acetate collage. This six prints portfolio, edited in ninety copies plus fifteen artist's proof, was printed by the roman print shop 2RC, well known location for graphic experimentations between 1960s and 1970s. Valter and Eleonora Rossi, founders of the 2RC Art Editions, intensely believed that graphic had to be considered a proper artistic genre, exactly such as painting and sculpture, and not as a mere extension of them. Thanks to an inventive experimentation, 2RC was able to graphically reproduce processes and contents expressed by contemporary artists. The partnership between Rossi and Alberto Burri is one of the most relevant examples that can be made to explain such an editorial choice. New medias, such as acetate, in fact, allow a new series of artistic choices, and especially in these six "Black and White", they grant the etching the same whites range as paintings. Acetates, although reflecting a similar period to that of artist's painting, are graphically independent from paintings. In occasion of Burri exhibition in 2RC Gallery in Milan, Cesare Brandi underlines and interesting point of view on the graphic works by the Umbrian artist, and of the relationship between graphic technique and painting genre: "With him (Burri) it is possible to consider parallel series, in which the same plastic motif is reproduced in both painting and etching, so that we may think at the etching just as a smaller motif. But the difference is the layout, the space on the sheet that focuses the image. For this reason the margins are no longer the link with the walls, like the frame in a painting, but they become an inseparable part of the image, so we can say that the etching is taking along its invisible wall".

Passages - A Suite of 16 Prints by Patricia Pearce and other artists
By Patricia A. Pearce
Located in Soquel, CA
Passages - A Suite of 16 Prints by Patricia Pearce and other artists A set of lithographs by College of San Mateo class of 1992, instructed by Patricia A. Pearce (American, b 1948). Each print is on laid paper, meaning they all have ragged edges. Presented in a black folio with title sheet, table of contents, and ties. Includes protective tissue paper dividers between each piece. Each piece is numbered, titled, and signed by the artist. Patricia Pearce is a California artist who attended San Francisco State and UC Irvine and is the adjunct Professor of Fine Art at the College of San Mateo. Her early work on paper explored images of garments using various printmaking techniques. Later, she began to work mainly in collagraph and monotype prints creating singular images of kimonos and ribbons in her subtle shifting, subdued pieces are constructed in a three-step process. Awards include Grade Prize, 3rd Biennial Exhibition of Prints, Wakayama Japan; Grant, Peninsula Community Foundation. Collections: Nieman Marcus, San Francisco; Wells Fargo, San Francisco Exhibitions: Montalvo, California Center for the Arts; Pacific Prints, Palo Alto. Other artists in the collection include: Tom Attix Donna Catalini I. Colon Nancy Conner Judith Gaulke (American, b. 1946) is originally from Hood River, Oregon. Gaulke has been working in oils on canvas most of her life, painting seriously since 1988 when she had her first showing, then her first gallery representation in 1990. She is attracted to lone objects and scenes not yet populated — table settings, chairs, boats — all interpreted to give the viewer a sense of calm. Gaulke now resides in Atherton, California with her husband Michael. Together they created the Michael and Judith Gaulke Chair of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University, an endowment for the College of Engineering. Exhibitions: “Varied Visions” - Main House at Holbrook-Palmer Park, Atherton, CA - 1998 Solo Show - Wente Vineyards, Livermore, CA - 1998 Atherton Arts Foundation Show - Jennings Pavilion, Holbrook-Palmer Park, Atherton, CA - 2006, 2009-2011 Pacific Art League 95th Anniversary Exhibition - Palo Alto, CA - 2016 Betty Gong M.
