Stone & Press

A cool shop for enthusiasts of fine-art mezzotints, lithographs, wood engravings and etchings by modern American artists. Mezzotints are the emphasis here, and flipping through the huge collection (filed away in bins like records in a record store) is a good way to gain an appreciation for a largely underappreciated art form. Most of the artists featured are contemporary, and some are clearly pushing the envelope, exploring new possibilities and techniques. A startling range in texture, tone and definition is achieved in black and white and sepia hues. All works are original and printed in limited editions.
