About the Item

Original print (collotype) by William Bailey (1930 - 2020). Framed in a handsome cherry wood moulding with a three-quarters inch face and outside depth one and a half inches. Pencil signed and numbered 192/200 on verso, with stamp that reads "This print was executed from an original work created for America the third century." William Bailey is considered one of America's finest still life artists and one of the most distinguished in collotype printmaking. Still Life with Eggs, Candlestick and Bowl hails from a portfolio titled "America: The Third Century", published 1975. Bailey has exhibited in the United States and Europe, and his work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Joseph Hirshhorn Museum. He was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and was elected to The National Academy of Design in 1983 and to The American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1986. Bailey’s first exhibition in New York was at Robert Schoelkopf Gallery in 1968, where he showed regularly until its closing in 1990. During the 90’s he exhibited at the Andre Emmerich Gallery and on its closing, exhibited at the Robert Miller Gallery. In 2004 Bailey moved to the Betty Cuningham Gallery . Mr. Bailey also taught at The Yale School of Art from 1958 to 1962 and from 1969 to 1995. He has also taught at The Cooper Union, University of Pennsylvania and Indiana University. He maintains studios in New Haven and in Umbertide, Italy. The collotype plate is made by coating a plate of glass or metal with a substrate composed of gelatin or other colloid and hardening it. Then it is coated with a thick coat of dichromated gelatin and dried carefully at a controlled temperature (a little over 50 degrees Celsius) so it 'reticulates' or breaks up into a finely grained pattern when washed later in approximately 16 °C water. The plate is then exposed in contact with the negative using an ultraviolet (UV) source which changes the ability of the exposed gelatin to absorb water later. The plate is developed by carefully washing out the dichromate salt and dried without heat. The plate is left in a cool dry place to cure for 24 hours before using it to print. To produce prints, the plate is dampened with a glycerine–water mixture which is slightly acidic, then blotted before inking with collotype ink using a leather or velvet roller. A hard finished paper such as Bristol is then put on top of the plate and covered with a tympan before being printed typically using a hand proof press. Collotypes are printed using less pressure than is used in printing intaglio or stone lithography. While it is possible to print by hand using a roller or brayer, an acceptable consistency of pressure and even distribution of ink is most effectively achieved using a press. Using collotypes for fine art photography was first employed in the United States by Alfred Stieglitz.
