“Royal Albert Hall 2019” by Tony Levin – cancelled, steel-backed polymer photogravure plate (unsigned)

$225.00

Own this exceptional, conversation piece and art object from Timeless-Prints.com and Tony Levin.  It is a modern, steel-backed, polymer plate used in the making of his signed, photogravure print editions.

These are among the printing plates we’ve exhausted already in the creation of Tony’s limited edition, King Crimson print collection.  Rather than recycle them immediately, we’ve decided to curate them, and offer them to the public! The plates are steel-backed and can be easily mounted onto any wood or metal surface with adhesive magnets. These curious, King Crimson objects d’art from our printing project with Tony won’t last long.

All plate sales are final.  Please see below for more info before purchasing.

Description

This cancelled, steel-backed, polymer photogravure printing plate was used in the production of the printed editions.  Traditionally, plates no longer used for an edition are “struck”, or cancelled, by carving an X through the middle so it won’t inadvertently get printed from again. Unlike etched copper plates in traditional printmaking, these plates are not archive-quality.

In this case, we’ve treated the plate a UV varnish to help preserve and protect the polymer plastic layer, and plug the pits that could otherwise hold ink and allow it to be reprinted.  The reflective quality of the plate makes it an excellent conversation piece, but alas, they are not archival quality (unlike our awesome prints that are archival)! Customers of these unique, handmade, printmaking relics of the trade should understand they are NOT guaranteed to last. The polymer layer can separate from the steel over time, and crack under extended periods of dry climate exposure.  They can, however, be framed like most other pieces of art, to help show off the work in a way that matches your decor, while enhancing life of the piece.
