Title
Spawning III - from 'Portfolio of Five Prints'
Description

This color intaglio utilizes many of the techniques that were being developed at Atelier 17, where Peterdi studied in Paris the 1930s and again in New York in the 40s. "Spawning III” was created using relief etching for the background, engraving for the linear and negative elements and five stenciled colors.

This print was  included in the Portfolio of Five Prints, by Gabor Peterdi and published by Ted Gotthelf of Rio Grande Graphics. Though proposed as an edition of 200, only 50 were actually printed, and none of the published impressions were signed. Therefor, this is considered "Unsigned as usual."
