The print is made with the platinum-palladium process. It is the most permanent photographic printing method. The platinum-palladium process is extremely difficult to master but, it produces black and white prints of unmatched subtlety. It is an honor to have Pradip work on an Archive image. He has graciously donated all of his skill and materials.
Producing the print took and entire week and was a very collaborative process. With multiple test images to get the print exactly right. I will say that what we were able to put onto paper was a true expression of the artwork I saw. The images seem to float off the paper.
We are offering the prints to donors who give $1200 or more. Email info@ancientartarchive for details and to reserve yours. Pradip has only produced 12 prints, once they are gone there will be no more. This is a rare opportunity to own a hand-crafted print by Pradip Malde and to support the work of the Ancient Art Archive.
