Catalogue Essay
On the 6th October 2021, Etel Adnan signed the bon-à-tirer proof of the Fil du temps (Thread of Time) print. Her health was fading and she passed away before being able to the sign the full edition. As a result, the editor transcribed and etched her signature from the first proof, printing it on the remaining prints from the edition.
