Le
spectre des arnaques artistiques..... suite
!
La
France, est semble-t-il, le pays au monde qui
a le plus produit d'analyses critiques d'ordre
sociologique, économique, historique du système
de l'art contemporain depuis des décennies.
Ce débat contradictoire et passionné a cependant
trouvé un terrain consensuel cette année. Ses
protagonistes ont de façon unanime constaté un
échec : la France a perdu tous ses marchés de
l'art, excepté celui du dessin et des arts premiers,
ses artistes officiels ne sont pas acceptés sur
les places internationales malgré les efforts
financiers considérables déployés par le ministère
de la Culture. AUDE

WHAT
IS A GICLÉE:
A Giclée (pronounced
Zhee-clay) is an individually produced, high-resolution
fine art print now considered to be the most accurate
technique for reproducing an artist's original
works of art. The new high definition printing
technique was developed in the United States during
the 1990s, and is now the high end standard of
the arts world. The most prestigious museums such
as the Met, the Louvre, the Chicago Art Institute
and the British Museum have now adopted the Giclée
process.
The Giclée is unsurpassed in terms of matching
the original artwork and also in terms of conservation.
Thanks to new archival inks, conservation has
been greatly improved from the offset lithography
(the pigmented inks are rated >100 years without
noticeable fading by William
Imaging Research, USA).
Giclées are superior to traditional lithography
in several ways. The gamut of color and resolution
for Giclées is far beyond that of lithography
or serigraphy.
The colors are richer, brighter, last longer,
and are so high-resolution that they are virtually
continuous tone, rather than tiny dots. Giclées
can be printed on a number of media, from canvas
to watercolor paper. This renders an amazingly
smooth and consistent image, a Museum Quality
Fine Art Reproduction. Since the digital image
includes every subtlety and nuance of the original
-- including the smallest details of light and
shadows such as the textures of the paint and
canvas or paper -- the fine art Giclée is often
indistinguishable from the original work of art.
Brush strokes have the appearance of brush strokes.
The process consists of a very sophisticated printer
(with nozzles tinier than a human hair) that sprays
millions of micro-droplets a second onto the media
(paper or canvas).
The Giclée is printed one line at a time and it
may take an hour to complete a single 30" x 30"
sheet. Because Giclée printmaking is digital throughout
the entire production process, there is much control
of color and greater opportunity for artist interaction.
Once completed, each art piece is inspected and
goes through several quality control checks before
the artist provides the final approval and signs
the Certificate of Authenticity. Giclées are priced
midway between original art and regular limited
edition lithographs. Limited edition lithograph
prints are usually produced in editions of 500-1,000
or more, but Giclées rarely exceed 50-100 reproductions.
Typically, limited edition Giclées are hand-signed
by the artist indicating their personal approval
of each work of art, and then individually numbered
to identify each work of art as a part of the
total edition.
RODEZart.com fine art Giclée prints are all
produced using the finest materials currently
available to produce Giclées of outstanding archival
quality: We use Epson UltraChrome K3 pigment inks
which offer 8-color continuous tone printing with
2880 x 1440 dpi resolution.
For Giclées on canvas, archival quality 18 mil
thickness, 373 gsm, high resolution canvas is
used. The prints are coated with an Ultra Violet
(UV) inhibitor that provides protection from the
harmful effects of ultraviolet light. The coating
also protects the print from abrasion and light
sprinkles of water. For printing on paper, we
use museum-quality, acid-free, 285 gsm Hahnemühle
Torchon archive-grade fine art paper with a natural
white finish. Each print is inspected by me and
once it has passed the quality control checks,
I sign, date, and place my seal on the Certificate
of Authenticity. I then hand sign and number each
piece individually. All my editions are limited
to 100 (per size).
