Mendelson, Steve (American/Pittsburgh, contemporary), Actinograph [Stars, Shadows and Hands], 1979, live cyanotype, unique print, signed lower right in red marker, framed 36 x 42 inches. Steve says: My work and Mendelson Gallery are interconnected. I have been known to sneak in some of my collage, montage and assemblage works over the years. I have shown in New York, Frankfurt, Paris, Santa Fe, Miami and Pittsburgh. I have ‘invented’ a new way to imagine the objects of my affection that I have collected from all corners of the world. The results, I hope, are a new surrealism; a fresh way of scrambling souvenirs, memorabilia and mementos. Both personal and impersonal, I strive for meaningful yet elusive juxtapositions of feelings and yearnings, subconscious yet strangely moving and even tongue-in-cheek sacrilegious. In good condition with minor compression marks throughout. Merchandise will be packed and transported by the purchaser at their own risk and expense.
