304 - Thomas MAILAENDER (born in 1979). Cyanotypes. Asnières, La Sira, 2019. Folio size, illustrated blue publisher’s cloth binding, slipcase. First edition of 30 numbered copies printed on Arches vellum, signed by the artist and numbered 19/30. Each cover is unique. The cyanotype, invented by John Herschel in 1842, is a simple and inexpensive printing process characterized by its blue-cyan hue. Popularized as a printing method by botanist Anna Atkins, who used it for her herbariums, the cyanotype became a widespread photographic process by the late 19th century. With his characteristic humor, Mailaender has appropriated this process to challenge and satirize the parameters of contemporary art. The images come from his “Fun Archive,” a personal collection and image bank of absurd and anonymous images gleaned from the Internet over the years.
