"Lilianne"

132 Tenth Avenue between 18th and 19th
Tuesday–Saturday 10am – 6pm
Alexander and Bonin is pleased to announce the publication and exhibition of Liliane, a portfolio of aquatints with etching by Sean Scully. This is the fourth in a series of portfolios co-published with the artist.
The portfolio consists of eight images, each constructed from a 24 x 18 plate into which two 6 x 10 inch plates have been inset. Known for multi-panel, constructed paintings, the composition of Liliane recalls Scully’s “Passenger” works, in which the inset panels are fully contained.
A variety of mark-making is used for the inset panels which are printed in colors ranging from brilliant to subtle and contrast with the larger plates which are consistently dark on top and light on the bottom. Liliane was printed by Burnet Editions, New York in an edition of 40.
