Annette Schwartzmans - ‘The Wind Writes’ (2002) – edition 1/10 - Sold

Description:
Offered for sale: an extremely rare and museum-quality graphic artwork by the Dutch artist and international gallerist Annette Schwartzmans. This serene, abstract-minimalist landscape bears the poetic title "The Wind Writes" and dates from 2002. This is edition number 1/10, meaning that this is the very first and most high-contrast print from an extremely limited series of only 10 pieces. Since the artist has completely ceased producing independent work for many years, this represents a definitively closed and unique oeuvre. Exclusive Gallery Presentation The artwork was framed at the time in a high-quality, monumental manner in a heavy, handmade, and patinated iron design frame measuring no less than 4 cm wide. The back is professionally finished with a solid wooden plate, ensuring perfect flatness and optimal protection of the paper against temperature and moisture. This high-end presentation aligns seamlessly with Schwartzmans' background as owner and gallerista of Galleria Di Druso in Spoleto, Italy. About the artist: Annette Schwartzmans built a strong reputation in the national cultural education sector from the 1990s to 2000 and exhibited regularly at atmospheric Dutch locations (such as the Franciscan Sisters Chapel) and internationally in Italy, often in close artistic collaboration with visual artist Louis van der Meijden.
