INANKIRA (Harry Ravers, 1951) — "Willow" — color material print, 1999
Original, hand-printed material print in green and reddish-brown by Dutch graphic artist Harry Ravers (Inankira),
signed, titled, dated, and numbered in pencil:
"m'druk 4/8 — Wilg. — INANKIRA '99".
Very limited edition of only 8 copies. This is copy 4/8.
Technique: material print (collagraph). Ravers builds his printing plates from sturdy paper with applied structures in intaglio, relief, and planographic printing, printed in multiple color passes. This creates the
