About the Item

William Waitzman July (from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Art Collection), 2016 Hand made color silkscreen on wove paper Pencil signed and numbered 6/14 on the front Frame included: Measurements: Framed: 22.25 inches vertical by 17.25 inches by 1.5 inch Artwork: 20 inches by 15 inches Elegantly floated and framed in a handmade wood frame with UV plexiglass Provenance: De-accessioned from the Memorial Sloan Kettering art collection (with collection labels on the back) William Waitzman is an accomplished printmaker, painter, and illustrator. William strives to reflect some essence of nature in a medium that is more commonly associated with t-shirts or Pop Art. He enjoys the challenge of transcending the inherent flatness of silkscreen to create a painterly image. As an illustrator, William's work has appeared in many publications over the past 25+ years, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Barron's. The artist states: "My screen prints are hand-printed in limited editions...The starting point for a print might be a landscape that I know well, or one that I know only fleetingly. A place as it appears in a finished print could be based on a single location or could be a composite. I start by making black-and-white drawings in ink, pencil or crayon on translucent vellum – a separate drawing for each color I plan to print. Screen printing is a stencil process. Once I have completed the drawings, I use a light-sensitive emulsion to transfer the images to silkscreens. In a dark room, I drag an even coat of the emulsion across a screen (a frame with a taut mesh). When it's dry, I expose the screen, with a drawing in close contact, to UV light. This creates a stencil of the drawing, with all the details and nuances. I then mix colors and use a squeegee to pull ink through the screen and print the image onto paper. I print one color at a time on each piece of paper in an edition, building the image from background to foreground as I add successive layers over the course of days or weeks. Many of my finished prints are accumulations of ten to twenty printed layers. As I work, the source materials are transformed by qualities inherent to the medium of screen printing. The path from start to finish is rarely a straight line. The digressions along the way, the discovery and revision, influence the outcome. I feel that the subject matter is reflection, memory and time as much as it is landscape. In this digital age I am drawn more than ever to the tradition of printmaking, and to hand-printing an edition."

For reference and provenance we have included an image of the colophon page from the complete portfolio. About Nora Speyer: The most exciting place to me is where I can communicate with the greatest number of artists. I can't live without some artists around. I'm not saying artists are likable. They can be very objectionable, but they are still my world. Nora Speyer Born in Pittsburgh, Speyer enrolled at Temple University's Tyler School of Art when she was sixteen. It was there she became roommates with Lillian Lent...
