Label TextGregory Amenoff spent the summer of 2003 in Chianti near Arezzo. Located high above a valley, the artist was inspired by the rows of Lombardy poplar trees, the switchback roads, and the moonlit nights of the region. This particular work is based on a series of large drawings and includes multiple techniques of printmaking and watercolor.
