We digitized over 1,000 paintings of Alexander Aizenshtat ranging in size from 30 centimeters to 6 meters. The shoots were conducted in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Jerusalem, Monaco, Milan, Zurich, and Vienna.
Technically it was very interesting. And perhaps this was our most challenging project in all 8 years of digitizing paintings. Deep black-violet tones and abundant highlights demanded considerable effort. It was especially difficult to work with large formats in confined spaces.
In the end, all works larger than one and a half meters were captured using a panoramic method — in parts, then stitched into a single image. This approach eliminated glare and achieved very high detail.
The resulting materials will be included in the catalogue for the artist’s exhibition in New York and will form the artist’s digital archive.
