John Register
Oak Chair, 1990
etching
8 x 8 in.
John Register’s “Oak Chair” was pulled at Magnolia Editions in Oakland, CA on a Griffin etching press. First, the plate was incised by the artist. The prints were then individually pulled by hand by Valentin Popov, a printer visiting from the Soviet Union. The artist drew into a hard ground and stopped out the image for aquatint, which was etched in ferric chloride.
