About the Item

Set of four abstract, surrealist compositions in rich blue, green, purple, turquoise, grey, navy and black. Henri Goetz Suite of four etchings with carborundum on Arches wove paper, ca. 1975-1978 Various dimensions: one at 20 x 25.5 in. / one at 20 x 27 in. / two at 23 x 30 in. Condition: aging of paper tone, some handling creases and discoloration Edition numbers: 5/45, 34/40, 3/40, and a proof Per Galerie Christian Collin: “In the world of printmaking, Goetz's name is often associated with a technical invention, called the "Goetz process" or "carborundum printmaking". The treatise that followed this discovery, entitled La Gravure au carborundum (Maeght,1969) has widely disseminated this technique among engravers, and in particular Joan Miró. This process is the result of technical experiments that Goetz undertook with chemists, around the curious material that is carborundum. Attached to a plate with a varnish, this abrasive silicon carbide-based powder offers a granular texture into which the ink can penetrate. It creates rich material effects, intense colors and subtle gradations.
