Check out Richard Dupont's etching "Untitled (phantom)". An impressively large, haunting, and achingly beautiful etching from a copperplate. The tight system of tiny hatching of lines creates and intense "ghost-like" presence and absence simlultaneously. This intricate sprawling work is a monumental achievement at 40"x64"! According to the Jan 2008 issue of Art in America the biggest of its kind. Ironically, the "DuPont Phantom" is a state of the art mammography machine used to show variation through line contrasts on x-ray film.
