Unframed, on a 45 by 35 cm sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShiota is known above all for her room-sized installations, in which thousands of lengths of black or red yarn are knotted through a space until chairs, beds, keys or dresses seem suspended inside a drawing in the air. Empty clothing is one of her lasting subjects, a stand-in for the absent body and for memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere that world is translated into print. A dress glows pale at the centre, a second dress darker beside it, both all but swallowed by a dense mesh of crossing lines. Heliogravure, a photographic intaglio process, gives the image its velvet blacks and soft silvery greys, so the thread reads almost as if it had been etched by hand. The number sits at lower left, the pencil signature at lower right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chiharu Shiota\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two White Dresses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heliogravure on paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 (as stated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as signed and numbered in pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 x 35 cm (17.7 x 13.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize as stated; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood, unused condition; the sheet was opened once to check it and has been stored flat since.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe edition number is masked in the photograph; the Desk will confirm it on request.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photograph shows the whole sheet; every photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignature, numbering and edition size are as the previous owner states them, and as the photograph shows in pencil below the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrame behind UV-filtering glazing on acid-free mounts, away from direct sun and damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery from Japan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheet travels flat between rigid boards, never rolled, by EMS or FedEx with tracking.
