How it opens
-
Break the seal
The print arrives flat in a handmade MINIESE envelope, closed with a gold seal.
-
Lift out the print
18 × 12 inches on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper, whose grain gives it more of a painting’s texture. It rests on an acid-free backing board, with no mat, and its instructions come with it.
-
Tap the chip, then look closer
Hold the phone up to any painting on the studio’s walls, and that painting plays its own story. Each one is also a work of the Living Museum.
-
Step back
Take in the whole print at once, and the painter walks into the room.
