This art print after the Hundertwasser's painting "DER BLAUE MOND - ATLANTIS" (oeuvre 650) is a premium 7-colour offset print on 250 g/sqm cast coated, high gloss paper. Green and highly refractive silver and gold glossy-foils are embossed in several steps befor the printing process begins. Four specialized companies in the area around Stuttgart are involved in this complicated manufacturing process.
The black frame has a silver inner edge, the black passe-partout is acid-free and the glass is a 2 mm thick float glass. To prevent bending and waving because of fluctuations in temperature and humidity, the art print has been laminated on the back panel and the passe-partout has been glued on the art print. Furthermore the art print has been framed dust-proof. These production techniques have been applied to achieve a long lasting and optically perfect result.
A special feature of this product is the 2 mm thick scratch-resistant glass. Normally this glass is available in stationary shops only, as the risk of breakage during shipping is too high. Therefore most of the online stores and mail-order companies use materials like acrylic glass, which have obvious disadvantages. Acrylic glass builds up a electrostatic charge and acts like a magnet for dust and dirt particles. Furthermore it is nearly impossible to clean acrylic glass without scratching it. Therefore we developed a special packaging for shipping, to be able, to offer this Hundertwasser art print in a frame with a 2 mm thick scratch-resistant glass which is easy to clean.
Hundertwasser comment about the work:
"This is one of the rare pictures I painted after a dream. I saw the blue vase very clearly, and I noted everything down in great detail after waking up and sketched the form of the vase. But pictures of dreams have nothing at all to do with quality. So many painters have tried time and again to eternalise a seemingly fantastic parallel world under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Nothing has ever resulted from it. Unless one has this world inside oneself. But then one needs neither drugs nor alcohol."
