The print for sale at left is
a gum bichromate print made during March 1979 in Bozeman, Montana. Kodalith
was exposed in a 5x7 pinhole camera and developed in Dektol. This camera
original negative was used to apply four seperate pigment layers to a sheet
of Rives BFK watercolor paper that was hand sized in alternate baths of
formaldahyde and gelatin. A fifth black pigment shadow layer was exposed
from a Kodalith negative. The camera negative, Kodalith positve and Kodalith
negative used to create this print were destroyed after completion. It is signed, dated and marked
AP in pencil below the bottom of the image.The scanned image at left is
actual size and pretty close to the origanal's color and contrast. The detail
and subtle tonal gradation are not accuratly represented here. For most of the past 22 years
the print has been stored in a cool, dry, dark place.It has only been displayed
for a short while in in my home.I thought $10,000 would be a
super big enough price to keep anyone from buying my most precious image
but after recently visiting the Andrew
Smith Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico and seeing duplicatable silver
gelatin prints for sale at five digit figures, I got scared and
upped the price to $60,000. Please
feel free to enjoy this picture. Copy it to disk or even print it if you
like. But when you decide you want the actual object - a handmade, one of
a kind fine art print - please email
me your phone number and I will call you. For the stated price I will
mount, mat and frame the print to your specifications and hand deliver it
to you anywhere in the world.
