Artwork 'The Red Dress 1980' by Gatja Helgart Rothe, also known as G.H. Rothe (1935-2007) – a world renowned printmaking artist famous for developing a new method of mezzotint which makes it resemble a nuanced painting. The offered artwork work is from a rare deluxe edition, numbered 40/50 and signed at the bottom right corner. Double matted and framed in wood under glass. 

Measurements:

Dimensions with frame: 34.5" x 25.5" (87.5 x 64.5 cm). 
Dimensions of artwork inside the frame: 23.5" x 17.5" (60 x 44.5 cm).
Frame's depth: 1.5" (4 cm).

G.H. Rothe (1935-2007) is considered a pioneer artist of the mezzotint – one the most difficult types in printmaking. In 1972, she invented a new technique allowing to achieve transparency in mezzotints for the first time. Rothe's highly detailed artworks focus on surreal landscapes, horses, and graceful dancers. Using elaborate oil dilution techniques, Rothe succeeded in creating an artistic expression which equals that of a painting. Depending on its size, the completion of a plate would usually take weeks and most often months to perfect it. On average, she would spent approximately 500 hours working on each plate. The filigree structures on the surface of the relatively soft copperplate permits only a certain number of print proceedings. Therefore, each edition remains limited to a maximum of 150-200 prints.
