Etching From Archaikon Portfolio: Leo Zogmayer (Austrian, B. 1949)

Shaggy black animal trots across a page of scribbled weather.

This etching from the Archaikon portfolio by Leo Zogmayer is by Black Dog, and is dated 1986. It is ink on archival fine art paper. Hand-signed and numbered prints are a standard convention of limited edition printmaking, recording the artist's approval of each impression. Black ink draws a four-legged creature with a thick body and short tail on a loose, scratchy ground. Pale blue touches show near its legs, and fine pointed lines flick across the upper left. Pencil marks sit below. It is 19.5 inches wide and 25.5 high.

Walks through the margins as though it owns them.
