What is a
folio? A folio is similar to a portfolio of matted prints,
although it isn't housed in a portfolio box, doesn't involve mattes,
and is generally smaller in
size. At a minimum, a folio
contains a title page, text relating to the work, a list of prints, the
requisite copyright information and, of course, the prints. A
folio can contain from 5 to 25 prints or more, sequenced in a coherent
manner. All of this is housed in a heavy, folded cover. Why make a folio? The simple answer is that it is an easy, concise, and coherent way to present a body of work without all the complications, expense, and bulk of a traditional portfolio of matted prints, or the expense and labor associated with the production of a book. While digitally produced work is more easily presented in this manner, silver and palladium prints are equally suitable for this type of presentation. |
