Suite of 6 photogravures with letterpress text and colophon in clamshell portfolio
Eternity through the stars is a suite of six prints with photogravure images and letterpress text, part of McElheny’s ongoing investigation into the origin of the universe. The images are derived from his photographs of the Lincoln Center chandeliers designed by Lobmeyr in the 1960s. The text is adapted from a cosmological treatise by the Marxist revolutionary Louis Auguste Blanqui (1805-1881), written while he was imprisoned during the 1871 Paris Commune.
