Special Collector's Edition print series

John Sexton:

As many of you know, most of my prints are issued as non-numbered "open editions," but over the years I have offered a small number of Limited Edition prints. It has been two years since my last Limited Edition print offer, so the timing seemed right. I am pleased to say that nearly all of these previous Limited Edition prints sold out very quickly which, as you might imagine, has been very flattering. 

My new Limited Edition print of Black Oaks, Snowstorm, Yosemite Valley, California has not been offered for sale previously. In 2011 Anne and I went to Yosemite to attend an exhibition opening reception at The Ansel Adams Gallery for our friends Mark Citret and Ray McSavaney. There was snow in the forecast, so we brought all of our winter gear just in case. The first day we had a slushy mixture of rain and snow that created challenging and frustrating conditions for trying to make photographs, but the following days were incredible. I have spent many days in the Yosemite Valley during winter storms, but I had never seen a winter wonderland as we experienced on this trip

This print is offered in a Limited Edition of 100 signed and numbered silver gelatin prints, plus 10 Artist's Proofs. When the edition is sold out no further prints will be made for sale in any size. 

This silver gelatin, selenium toned print is approximately 9-3/4 x 10-1/4", personally printed by me (as are all my prints), processed to current archival standards, signed, mounted, and matted to 16x20" on 100 percent rag museum board.

*The work is framed by top quality wood in black color with museum glass
