Matt V--

The price-commanding power of Zorn's etchings makes more sense if you've seen them. Some of us found a wall full at the Gardner Museum in Boston at the last PSOA conference in April.

They're really indescribable. The light within them is palpable. He's gotten every possible nuance of tone possible in a value scale, and in the nudes, the flesh has a tactile appearance so lush as to rival oils.

All this from no more than an arrangement of black and white hatching. Just stupendous. See them if you can.
