Description from the seller
Item title: Hector Saunier (1936-2024) - Contretaglio - Signed original engraving (with frame)
Description:
Superb original color engraving (etching and burin) in 1981 by the Argentine master printmaker Hector Saunier (1936-2024).
A key figure in contemporary printmaking, Saunier directed the famous Atelier Contrepoint in Paris (formerly S.W. Hayter's Atelier 17).
This work testifies to his perfect mastery of the technique of simultaneous color printing (viscosity printing), offering luminous gradients and finely layered lines.
The work bears several authentic pencil inscriptions by the artist in the lower margin:
• On the left: Limited edition numbering "12/50"
• In the center: Title of the work "Camouflage"
• On the right: Artist's signature and date "HSaunier 81"
Condition:
The print is in very good overall condition, the colors remain fresh, intense, and very bright. The work is sold ready to display, with its original solid wood frame and matting that beautifully enhance the illustration. (Note: The frame and glass are in good used condition).
Shipping:
Professional and particularly careful packaging. The frame's glass will be secured with masking tape to prevent any damage during transport. The parcel will be heavily protected with multiple layers of bubble wrap and a double-wall rigid cardboard box, with tracking number.
