I would make notes and go back to my studio and try different things. Visually it appears so simple. I know who to look up for a tour the next time I go to Boston!

You are on!
It seems I am the official SOG Boston tour guide!

They are awesome and there is one huge one that is new and I have never seen in a book.

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.
