Limited Edition. Loose Sheets. A collection of 10 aquatints on Rives Paper. Leon Battista Alberti, renaissance scholar, artist and architect, coined the term Concinnitas to connote the beauty found in the confluence of perfect uses of number, position and outline. In 2012, Parasol commissioned ten mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists, including two Nobel Laureates and five Fields Medalists, to create etchings of the mathematical expression most meaningful to them. These formulae were then printed by the fine-art print shop Harlan and Weaver as aquatints, evoking the look of equations quickly and elegantly sketched in white chalk on a blackboard. Accompanied by an expository essay of each and description card, signed by each. Sir Michael Atiyah. Edinburgh University. Fields Medal Enrico Bombieri. Institute of Advanced Study Princeton. Fields Medal Simon Donaldson. Stony Brook University / Imperial College London. Fields Medal Freeman Dyson. Institute of Advanced Study Princeton. Templeton Prize Murray Gell-Mann. Santa Fe Institute. Nobel Prize Richard Karp. UC Berkeley. Turing Medal Peter Lax. Courant Institute (NYU). Abel, Wolf and Norbert Wiener Prize David Mumford. Brown University.
