"Klox" by Karl Kasten
1995 Kenwood Vineyards Artist Series
Karl Kasten’s collograph, “Klox,” is characteristic of his abstract-expressionistic style, rich in texture and color.
To create the “Klox” image, actual clock parts were embedded into the collograph plates. Kasten, a renowned printmaker, painter, inventor and educator developed this method of printing. The method makes possible the printing of a multi-layered image by a single run through the etching press.
Kasten’s work is represented in galleries and museums around the world and has been honored with numerous distinctions, including the Distinguished Artists Award from the California Printmakers Society in 1997.
Tight and on the austere side, with earthy cedar, clay and tobacco flavors dominating the currant and dried cherry fruit underneath. Needs time to grow into its flavors, as the tannins are firm. Best from 2001 through 2010
Rated 88 Wine Spectator
