Sherby presents one of John Currin's most intimate printed works, a precisely rendered female portrait etched onto handmade Kochi NB paper that lends the composition a warm, almost luminous ground. The figure is rendered with Currin's characteristic blend of Old Master draftsmanship and quietly unsettling psychological presence, the fine intaglio lines building a surface that feels simultaneously classical and deeply contemporary. The restricted edition of fifteen impressions reflects the care and deliberateness with which Currin approached printmaking during this period, treating the medium not as a reproductive exercise but as a primary artistic statement. Currin emerged through the 1990s as one of the most debated painters of his generation, celebrated for his fusion of Northern Renaissance technique with a provocative and often sardonic engagement with femininity, desire, and representation. Sherby, produced in 2011, sits within a body of print work that extends these preoccupations into a more intimate register, the scale of 29.5 by 25.4 centimetres drawing the viewer into close confrontation with the image. Signed by the artist, this work carries the full weight of his authorship and the personal investment that distinguishes his limited print editions from more commercial graphic projects. For collectors, this etching offers a rare opportunity to hold a work that distills Currin's singular vision into a format both physically accessible and historically resonant. The choice of handmade Kochi NB paper underscores a commitment to material quality that elevates the object beyond the merely documentary, situating Sherby as a self-contained artwork rather than a secondary artifact of his painting practice. Works from this edition are seldom available, and the combination of subject, medium, and provenance through Gagosian makes this an exceptionally compelling acquisition.
