Description
This photograph "Eye on the river" 1989 3/10 is part of a seven year project undertaken by San Francisco based artist Jacques Cressaty from 1989 to 1996. The project was to photograph a different area of his native country, France, each year in black & white film. The regions were Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, Loire Atlantique, Dordogne, Normandy and Paris. Upon return to San Francisco, a selection of 12 images was chosen. They were then printed in Cibachrome which allowed the photo lab to print a reversal image in one color. This work was very well received by the galleries, and the public at large, and only a few prints remain of the edition of 10 prints and 1 artist proof. This particular image is print #3 out of 10 there are only two additional prints left. There will be no more printing once the edition is completely sold. This 4 5/8" by 4 5/8 print is signed, dated and numbered in pencil on the reverse of the print and also on the museum mat board. It is framed in a contemporary 12" x 12" Nielsen pewter color aluminum frame #11, with plexiglass.
Jacques Cressaty, the recipient of several awards has his work in various collections and in the Bibliotheque de France in Paris.
