David Avery
In Absentia - Al Mutanabbi Street 2007

2000

About the Item

Medium: Etching Year: 2014 Edition Size: 20 Image Size: 4 x 10.25 inches The subtitle for this print is Al Mutanabbi Street, 2007. That is when a suicide bomber attacked this street which has been famous for its booksellers and is named after the 10th century poet Al Mutanabbi. One of several recent prints by Avery that continue to win awards and purchase by museums and public collections. David Avery continues to explore the expressive and technical possibilities inherent in black and white line etching. His work is included in the collections of the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, the New York Public Library, the Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, the Stanford University Library among others, and has been noted in the New York Times. Even though “black and white doesn’t sell”, he has eschewed the use of color, finding the subtleties and tonalities of black and white most capable of creating the psychological mood that allows his work to be effective.
