- JOHN GUTOWSKI PAIR OF UNTITLED KALLITYPES
JOHN GUTOWSKI PAIR OF UNTITLED KALLITYPES (1994)John W. Gutowski
(American, 1948-2001)
Untitled, 1994
Two kallitypes
14 1/2" x 11 3/4" (each sheet), 22 1/4" x 18 1/4" (each frame)
Each is signed and dated to the reverse. In John W. Gutowski: Photographic Suites 1979-2001 , curator Elisabeth Kirsch offered context on Gutowski's use of this rare medium: "John was the only artist in the country I could find who still made kallitypes, a difficult technique that results in deep umber tones of delicate beauty. He never lost his love of the alchemical magic required to create a photograph."
Condition
Good condition, noting soft handling creases to the sheet of the darker image and gentle rippling to each sheet. Slight wear to one frame.
