Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Prinzhorn Prize Exhibition December 5, Noel Night @ the Russell Industrial Center This celebratory exhibition was organized by the Museum of New Art (MONA) with special thanks to Christo and Jeanne-Claude for their generous donation of forty signed reproductions of prints, collages and photographs. The printing technique is a special offset-lithography with a high density of dots. Many of these images are printed on a special paper called hammered cardboard with an ivory surface. It is similar to the paper used by artists for drawing. The paper is very thick, a little rough and therefore very resistant to any damage. The master
printer needs between three and ten times the ink in relation to a
normal art print because the surface is not closed and the ink
goes deep inside the paper. This makes the image much more
brilliant. All 40 signed images are for sale, and have been donated by the artists to help fund future projects. (Pricing has been set reasonably low by the artists themselves, ranging from $250 to $400.)
