Textured fragment of a lithography stone from the Plattenkalk series
Photo: David Christensen
A close-up, black and white studio photograph captures a fragment of a lithography stone from David Christensen's 2026 'Plattenkalk' series. The stone, roughly rectangular with an angled top-left edge, stands upright on a flat surface against a dark background. Its surface is heavily textured with numerous scratches, abrasions, and areas of dark, possibly ink-stained, discoloration, indicating prior use in the lithographic process. The image emphasizes the material qualities and history of the stone.
