Description
As there is little found on the artist Geraldine “Gerry” Pletcher at this time, we can’t be sure where or with whom she studied. However, it is known that she exhibited her prints in New York in the 1970s and she was listed in Who’s Who in 1999. That said, her clear understanding of and talent for intaglio printmaking is evident in this balanced, nuanced Abstract print, in which she uses layers of tonality to present something akin to architecture or a mirrored geological formation.
