I had four prints framed over a period of six months , at the back of my mind, I seem to remember him saying he was having difficulty obtaining non-reflective glass.
He’s aged 80 plus, so maybe he couldn’t put a large order in .
Certainly the supply chain has become fractured in more than one industry
Looked up picture glass prices, clear view (other names for same glass) is currently 4times the cost of basic picture glass. Can get very expensive. That said if I had a water colour painting it’s 100% worth the cost as it can eliminate UV. The very best museum clear glass (even more expensive) takes out all UV.
This is a limited edition Gordon Walters print. He was a NZ artist most famous for his abstract “Koru” series, of which this is an example. The word “ koru” is Māori for the tip of the growing fern.
When I first saw that picture, I thought it looked familiar.
Only just realised it is similar to the cover of a book book I have.
Printed in 1920, it contains photos of destruction in Paris caused by German bombers and artillery.
Nice of you to say so.
I was very lucky to see some marvellous musicians many of which I still listen to.
Sadly several are no longer with us which saddens me. I still have some great memories though !
Lucky find on Holiday in France last week. Bought directly from the photographer, Dudley Reed. His portrait of Mitsuko Uchida. Hard to photograph effectively, but hopefully it comes over ok. Now gracing a wall in my listening room. Cost a bit, but all proceeds are going to a charity for Ukraine, Help and Hope.
