About this Item
Description:
Catalogue in fine condition, clean and unmarked this is number 7 of 100 SIGNED BY CHARLES HOBSON In conjunction with a retrospective exhibition of the artist's work at the Bolinas Museum, a fifty-six page catalogue has been printed at Hemlock Printers, Ltd., Vancouver. It contains 110 four-color images reproduced using a stochastic screening method with a 25 micron spot. The effect of the process is to render each image in extremely high resolution without an obvious screen pattern. The catalogue has an introduction by the writer Barry Lopez who is the author of many books of fiction and nonfiction, including About This Life, Field Notes, and Arctic Dreams for which he won the National Book Award A special version of the catalogue has been produced in a limited edition of 100 copies bound by John DeMerritt with a hand painted cover and containing a limited edition digital pigment print entitled Amelia's Last Words. THE DIGITAL PIGMENT PRINT IS MISSING FROM THIS ISSUE. Seller Inventory # 001238
