“Palm” depicts a detail from a Babylonian relief sculpture in a display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Philip Van Keuren’s images are prompted by everyday observations that reveal the world as sublimely beautiful while simultaneously unknowable. This print, made from the artist’s original 35mm camera negative using the historical technique of photogravure, is hand-printed from a single etched copper plate in black ink. It is from a series of forty photogravures by the artist, collectively titled “Toward What Sun?”.
