Marco Breuer

a unique object, scratched chromogenic print, signed, titled, and dated in pencil on the reverse, framed, a Von Lintel Gallery, New York, label on the reverse, 2003

This chromogenic print, on glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. As a result of the photographer's working process, the exposed paper has been abraded with a ruler-guided razor by the photographer. The layers of yellow and red dyes below and the white tooth of the paper base show through these abrasions. There are a few small bumps from the dust and particles beneath the paper that interrupted the scratch lines. All of the aforermentioned are due to the photographic process employed and cannot be considered issues with the condition of the work.
