REMARQUES |
A REMARQUE (re-mark) is an original drawing applied to a margin of a print, normally a limited edition print. Mike Sibley draws AND remarques in pencil and Mike's remarques are of a similar quality to the main body of the work. Each remarque will be of the same breed as the limited edition print it graces. Each remarque takes time to produce - more than four hours for a Standard Remarque and ten or more hours for a Panoramic Remarque.
A
Standard Remarque
is about 2" x 2" and normally fits in one of the lower
corners of the print.
A
Panoramic Remarque
occupies the entire bottom border of the print, about 2"h x 17"w.
Each
remarque, whether it is a Standard or Panoramic is unique. Why a Remarque? Two reasons.
One
is that it enhances the beauty of an already beautiful piece of art The second reason is value. Although we can't make any promises, the value of any print will normally increase in time. However, a print with an original remarque has been known to increase in value five to ten times the original price. |
