Catalogue Note: This exceptional double trial proof offers a rare, masterclass insight into Arnold Gross’s innovative and experimental approach to printmaking. On a single sheet, the artist juxtaposes two radically different methods using the exact same matrix: the upper image is a classic, delicately hand-colored etching (intaglio), while the lower portion features an inverse relief impression pulled from the surface of the same plate. This striking technical dialogue captures the multi-dimensional thinking behind Gross’s whimsical compositions. Professionally conserved and housed in an archival-standard, acid-free mount, this highly unusual process-study represents a stellar addition for connoisseurs of post-war European avant-garde printmaking and graphic arts.
