Description from the seller
Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966)
Publisher: Einaudi (Turin, Italy), 1963
Embossed authentication seal Einaudi
Technique, a negative transfer process etching fine details into a metal plate used to create an intaglio print. Here we see his relationship with line, space and form converge and evolve.The works are displayed through the rarely used, yet precise technique, a negative transfer process fine details into a metal plate used to create an intaglio artwork, one artwork like this was exhibited in important museum and galleries as the collection of Bechtler Museum of Art, created by special process of photoengraving, are done from original drawings. To make a photogravure, the printer takes a metal plate, much like any other intaglio process, and cots it with a light-sensitive emulsion.
The plate is then exposed to an image and the coating converts the marks of the image onto the plate. The marked portions of the plate are the etched, creating a surface that can be coated with ink, the etched sections retaining the ink, then the paper is placed on the plate, pushed through a plate and the image printed. The remarkable distinction between a photogravure and a plate that has been carved by an artist's hand is that the photogravure.
Alberto Giacometti was one of the best artist of the world as Rembrandt, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Gustav Klimt, Basquiat, Warhol, Modigliani, Banksy or Chillida.
