Digital BW, The Print

Again I have to say that of all the exhibitions I have been to in the last
year, none have exhibited work on matte paper.  Maybe I am just not getting
to enough galleries - or cheaper galleries or something.

The last exhibition I took in was in New York.  I don't recall the artist -
unfortunately the visit was too rushed.  The prints were colour cibachrome
shots of some American natural history archives - all sorts of preserved
animals etc. (Someone in New York will know of the exhibition.)  $5000-$6500
per print (if I recall properly) roughly 16x20in stuff.

All the black and white stuff I have seen has been traditional processes.
Most other colour work has been Lightjet/Durst Lambda.  Whenever Epson/HP
chooses to showcase their work at events it is colour on photo paper.  Now I
don't spend countless hours scouring exhibitions but this seems a heavily
weighted sample.  I also don't think that this is any reason why an
individual should alter the way they choose to express themselves.  I am
just puzzled when I see such statements.
