AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare graphic work by Walter Valentini in its largest formats, exceptional quality!!
The Ideal City, 1992.
Etching with gold leaf retouch.
Plate and sheet measuring 100 x 200 cm.
Magnani paper from Pescia.
Edition 99 + XVIII.
Printer: Sardella - Milan.
Walter Valentini (Pergola, 22 October 1928 – Milan, 20 May 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor and engraver, internationally recognized in the field of graphics and printmaking.
He was a master of techniques such as etching, aquatint, drypoint, multi-color lithography, and intaglio.
Like the plates, the graphic works are not smooth surfaces: with a refined dry intaglio technique, Valentini presses the paper so that the drawing remains in relief above the plane. The subjects of these engravings are the same as those of the plates; only the technique varies: from aquatint to etching to drypoint.
