• Lot Description
  Peter Voulkos (American, 1924-2002). Untitled. Chine colle, edition number 5/8 on lower left,signed and dated at lower right, 2000. A striking chine colle by Peter Voulkos that was acquired from the famous Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado. The description reads as follows, "Peter Voulkos is a California Bay area artist who is considered one of the modern masters of contemporary clay abstraction. He was also a co-founder of the well-known Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana. Recently the Oakland Museum in California exhibited a major survey of his career that spans over 40 years. This work was created at Anderson Ranch with printer Robert Brinker. Creating prints at Anderson Ranch has allowed Voulkos to explor other interpretations of his vision." Size of print: 15" L x 12" W (38.1 cm x 30.5 cm) Size of frame: 27.125" L x 22.2" W (68.9 cm x 56.4 cm)
  
  Chine colle is a fascinating technique. According to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City chine colle is "A technique, used in conjunction with printmaking processes such as etching or lithography, that results in a two-layered paper support: a tissue-thin paper, cut to the size of the printing plate, and a larger, thicker support paper below. Both the tissue and the support sheet are placed on top of the inked plate and run together through the printing press, sometimes with a thin layer of adhesive between them to reinforce the bond produced through the pressure of the press. The process creates a subtle, delicate backdrop to the printed image. Chine is the French word for China, referring to the fact that the thin paper originally used with this technique was imported from China. In addition to China, paper was also imported from India or Japan. Colle is the French word for 'glued.'"
