Originals from Lee Friedlander and our own David Putnam

Lee Friedlander is an American photographer and artist. In the 60s and 70s, Friedlander evolved an influential visual language of urban “social landscape,” with many of his photographs including fragments of store-front reflections, structures framed by fences, posters and street signs.
Our four Friedlanders this week are signed landscapes created as photogravures – a photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate is grained (adding a pattern to the plate) and then coated with a light-sensitive material and then etched, resulting in a high quality design engraved into the material, that can reproduce very detailed continuous tones of a photograph. Each was framed in a simple, classic dark gray design to set off the subtle grays and blacks within the images, and like all of our work, each was mounted and framed with archival-quality materials for years of lasting beauty.
