Why Choose John Richter Photography
John Richter Gallery in Vail, Colorado
For over 25 years award winning photographer John Richter has been capturing stunning landscapes of the American West and beyond. At Richter Fine Art we strive to provide unparalleled genuine experiences in the fine art world. We uphold the highest level of integrity within our products and services and pride ourselves on our relationships we build with our clients and partners.
Photography is a highly competitive field and John Richter Photography strives to be the first choice for discerning collectors. At Fine Art Shows throughout the country and in our signature galleries (link to gallery page otherwise hidden?), Richter’s stunning landscapes were often compared to the renowned Australian photographer Peter Lik. The comparison is flattering and offers a perfect opportunity to explain the process in which our prints are made. In fact, Richter’s signature galleries have operated in the same markets as Lik in world class destinations such as Las Vegas and Vail, Colorado. By being in direct competition, Richter offers some of the same artisan frame profiles hand crafted in Italy by Roma Moulding and Richter’s brilliant HD printing technique is in fact the same process that the Peter Lik brand help to popularize in our contemporary art market. This could be seen as a nefarious coincidence, however, because this printing process is unparalleled in archival permanence and is produced on a true photographic emulsion it was never an option to choose a less expensive mass produced product.
SILVER CRYSTAL HALIDE
Archival Prints
All of the images are printed on Fuji’s Silver Crystal Halide chromogenic print materials. Not only is the best for archival value with a minimum life expectancy of over 60 years, it also the premier product for vibrancy and gives the work an appearance of a "backlit" glow. It is not surprising that this the same product that Lik uses as it truly is the industry best. * Wilhem Imaging Research
UV ACRYLIC
We use museum quality conservation acrylics from TRU VUE to face mount all of Richter’s limited edition prints. Our commitment to offering the industry’s best product is coupled with Richter’s determination to show each limited edition print in its very best form. Unlike our competitors, we offer a non-glare or matte acrylic option that opens up possibilities in challenging lighting environments. This can be a great choice in homes that have a lot of windows or when dedicated art lighting is not an option. This is also Richter’s preferred finish for his B+W works which enhance the prints with a very authentic presentation. Although matte finish cannot be bought directly from our website, contact us if your space would benefit from non-glare.
EDITION INTEGRITY
Limited Edition
All Limited Editions are limited to either 400, 250, 100 or and in a few select cases, 50. By offering small edition numbers, Each print is digitally signed and numbered effectively merging the artist's signature onto the print permanently. Once the allocated number of prints in and edition are sold, the image will never be reproduced again. Every Limited Edition print includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Unlike Richter’s vast library of stock images, the selected captures represented in his limited edition catalog are never sold for commercial purposes ensuring that the fine art you display in your home will never be reproduced in any other form.
