What makes the printing quality of these Helen Frankenthaler postcards unique?
RedKalion uses 12-color fine art printing technology, which provides a significantly wider color gamut than standard 4-color printing. This ensures that the delicate washes and vibrant tones of Helen Frankenthaler’s Alassio are reproduced with stunning museum-quality accuracy.
What is the 'soak-stain' technique featured in Frankenthaler’s work?
Developed by Frankenthaler in the 1950s, the soak-stain technique involves thinning oil paint with turpentine and pouring it onto unprimed canvas. This allowed the color to fuse with the fabric, creating the fluid, atmospheric effects seen in Alassio, 1960.
Is the paper used for these postcards environmentally sustainable?
Yes, sustainability is a core value at RedKalion. These postcards are printed on FSC-certified paper, ensuring the materials come from responsibly managed forests. The 200 gsm weight provides a premium feel while maintaining an eco-conscious footprint.
What are the exact dimensions of these fine art postcards?
These postcards are A6 size, measuring 10.5 x 14.8 cm (approximately 4.1 x 5.8 inches). This classic format is perfect for standard mailing or for framing as part of a miniature gallery wall display.
How does RedKalion ensure the longevity of the print?
We use archival-grade pigments and acid-free, FSC-certified paper. Our 12-color printing technology is designed for lightfastness, ensuring that the colors of Alassio remain vibrant and resist fading over time when kept out of direct sunlight.
How are these postcard packs shipped to prevent damage?
Each pack of 10 postcards is carefully packaged in protective materials to ensure they arrive in pristine condition. As a print-on-demand gallery, we maintain strict quality control from the moment of printing to the final dispatch.
Where was Alassio, 1960 painted, and what does it represent?
Frankenthaler painted this during a period of travel in Italy. Alassio represents her transition toward more expansive, open compositions where the white space of the paper or canvas is as significant as the color itself, capturing the light of the Mediterranean.
