WELLING, JAMES (1951- ) "Untitled." Triptych of Ektacolor prints, each 20x24 inches (50.8x61 cm.), each with Welling's initials, title, date, and edition notation 2/3, in pencil, and his hand stamp, on mount verso; framed. 1982-86
These prints were included in an exhibition at the Christine Burgin Gallery in 1987. Each frame with a Donald Young Gallery, Chicago label on verso. After moving to New York in 1978, Welling began to photograph aluminum foil, drapery velvet scattered with pastry dough, ink infused gelatin, and plastic tiles. Each series of photographs was exhibited in one-person shows at Metro Pictures. In this triptych, reimagined negatives from the pastry dough on drapery series were printed in black and red instead of the original black and white silver gelatin.
