Bill Ritchie's art in Washington State

in the
Duke Washington Collection

Target and Water
Specifications: Intaglio, etching, engraving and drypoint on copper plate. Black, GC&IC image 3 1/2 X 3 5/8 in on 8 3/8 X 8 3/4 in Rives BFK. No. State Proof I preceding an Edition of 10. Signed lower right as BR.
Artist comment: This proof is of the first state leading up to the edition. I was working on achieving the "perfect target heart" reflection, but I also like the early states because they--like much of printmaking--provide a history of their own making. Duke Washington has two other works from the target series, not shown on this page.
