Beth Dow's Verdant Landscape
Filed Under: artist newsletter On: September 21, 2011 posted by: elizabeth
Hello, collectors! As trees turn and cease to grace us with their greens, consider this one more salut in our extended so long to summer. Since we can't rely on the deciduous darlings that dapple NYC's streets and parks to brighten our ways and walks for much longer, we present you with enduring hues and evergreens in Tree Study II.
A lot's been said about Ms. Beth Dow's odes to the oddities of English gardens—rendered here even more surreal by the lemon-lime light of an approaching storm—so I'll keep this short and sweet. Beth's embrace of cool blues and greens in both Tree Study II and I (which we released earlier this season) replaces her usual grays. They're luscious, lasting and colorfast, created with archival inks on our signature 100% cotton rag matte paper.
But her grays are glorious, as well. We've featured Beth's black and white work in editions past and they've been snapped up by collectors fast. Her platinum-palladium prints are much desired, too, among photography aficionados new and old. They've earned her a place* in the Museum of Contemporary Photography's Midwest Photographers Project. If you are so inclined, inquire with collector@20x200.com for more info from Jeffrey Teuton, Director at Jen Bekman Gallery, on these rarer finds.
