![]() ![]() When guests visit the SteelStacks campus, the first thing they usually notice are the towering 'stacks' after which the campus is named. Once the home plant of Bethlehem Steel, the second largest steel manufacturer in the nation, the site has been reborn through music and art, offering more than 1,000 concerts and eight different festivals annually. Therefore, we have a delayed shipment because I will not keep an inventory of these pieces lying around the studio.SteelStacks is a ten-acre campus dedicated to arts, culture, family events, community celebrations, education and fun. At that point, Park Ave Picture Framing custom cuts all of the frames and mat boards to size. All prints are being printed at the time of purchase, signed, & numbered before being taken to Park Ave Picture Framing. The framed prints will be shipped two weeks after the purchase date, and matted prints will ship within a week. If you are concerned about the frame matching your aesthetic, you can purchase the prints in the mat board with window mounting for both pieces. We offer both a white & black wooden frame option for the Bethlehem Steel Special Edition prints. My limited edition prints for the Bethlehem Steel Special Edition Collection are created on Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag paper on the Canon wide-format printers utilizing their pigmented Lucia inks. My passion for creating fine edition work in print form and creating my photographs is what keeps me going this specialty is also what I teach at RIT. We are a Canson Infinity certified print studio, which means we adhere to all guidelines for creating archival inkjet prints. I personally produce all of my own prints as I own and operate Booksmart Studio, which specializes in creating fine edition prints & books for artists and photographers. They are prints on a paper that is more archival than your traditional color photographic print but is a Luster paper with a plastic base, just as a traditional photographic color print. The Open Edition pieces are for those that do not consider themselves art collectors but wish to own one of the images to commemorate Bethlehem Steel. They are also printed on a higher-end inkjet paper with higher archival qualities and 100% Cotton. The Limited Edition is just that, limited. ![]() What is the difference between the Limited Edition & Open Edition prints? Once they are gone, then my photographs will only be available as standalone prints. Well, the timing is right, and I am offering my photographs on a first-come-first-served basis with the few stock certificates that I have. Years ago, I purchased 38 stock certificates to one day offer alongside my photographs. ![]() What is the Bethlehem Steel Special Edition Collection? Therefore, if you order from my website or with HOTE Gallery, all sales will occur the normal gallery to artist split we have agreed upon. In this partnership, both of us are working mutually hard to promote my work. ![]() I have no idea of knowing whether a lead was generated from HOTE Gallery or by stumbling upon my website or social media. The answer is NO! Having a gallery represent my work is a long-term relationship, and we must support one another through thick and thin. Will you make more money if we buy it directly from you? The Open Edition pieces come with a reproduction of a stock certificate, and they are printed on a Luster RC (Resin Coated) inkjet paper. The Limited Edition pieces are only being offered with the 38 stock certificates I have in possession. Photographs are available either (black or white wooden) framed or unframed. The Special Edition Collection prints are available as a set with the stock certificate in a single mat board with two windows on an archival mat board prepared by Park Ave Picture Framing in Rochester, NY. There are only 38 stock certificates being offered in the Special Edition Collection, and once they are gone, you will only be able to purchase my individual photographs. I am offering a selection of my images from my hometown Bethlehem, PA, for sale with an accompanying Bethlehem Steel Stock Certificate. Bethlehem Steel, Special Edition Collection ![]()
