Gente Rothe – Myth

Gente Rothe – Myth

$5,000
Availability: In stock

Myth is one of Rothe’s most outstanding creations. It’s a very rare, Artist’s Proof, mezzotint on heavy artist’s paper. Mezzotint is a very difficult process. The artist has to put the sheet of paper through the press a number of times, each time keeping the registration perfect and one time for each colour variation of that colour. I believe this piece was put through about 16 – 20 times – remarkable. Signed in the margin lower right: “G. H. Rothe”. Numbered: “4/15 A.P.” bottom left. An artist’s proof if more valuable because the artist does all the printing. After the proofs are done, usually the pressmen take over and copy the instructions from the artist. Titled: “Myth” bottom centre. Frame is wood with dark chocolate, smooth, matt finish with a gold metal key line – very distinctive and appropriate for this mezzotint. Double matts set the painting off nicely – off-white and dusty rose with bevelled edges. Excellent condition with some discolouration from age.
