Signed by ian sanderson lower right and numbered lower left, delivered with certificates of authenticity, unframed limited edition : 1/5 provenance: ian sanderson’s estate grainy photograph of a path in the countryside, near brighton, uk the negative was scanned creating a digital file which was then printed on hahnemühle photo rag® baryta 315 gsm (acid-free and lignin-free paper, museum quality paper for highest age resistance and a popular alternative to analogue baryta paper) using pigment inks which are known for their longevity. ian sanderson (born 1951 scotland, died 2020 spain) was a scottish photographer. Ian produced images over a 35 year career. For most he worked as both a commercial and fine art photographer; during his last years concentrated on his personal archive. Ian and his widow nathalie have worked for many years with alternative printing techniques in their workshop, isp, creating platinum palladium, silver gelatin, lith or gum bichromate. This culminated in a large retrospective exhibition in barcelona which was sponsored by the nando and elsa peretti foundation. Platinum palladium printing is a traditional photographic technique which precedes silver gelatin technique. Many photographers have worked with it in the past as irvin penn, manuel alvarez bravo, robert mapplethorpe, sebastiao salgado o ormond gigli with its platinum with gold leaf print 'girls in the windows'. Isp workshop continues with the work of ian's widow to create archival pigment prints like this one but also rare and personalized photographs. The original platinum palladium technique she uses is more advanced by adding another precious metal (silver or gold leaf depending on the desired rendering) that only a handful of artists in the world have the expertise to practice it today. Silver or gold bring longevity and rarity to the print but also a tonal range and depth unmatched by digital printers which are valued by collectors. Style : black and white photography, 20th.
