Christopher Cardozo is
widely acknowledged as the world’s leading authority on
Edward S. Curtis. He is the author of nine monographs on Edward
Curtis and has created and curated one-person Edward Curtis exhibitions
that have been seen in nearly one hundred venues in over forty
countries.
Having collected Edward
Curtis’ artwork for four decades, Cardozo has created the
world’s largest and most broad-ranging Curtis collection.
No one has done more to increase the awareness, understanding,
and appreciation for Curtis’ work than Christopher Cardozo,
except Edward Curtis himself.
Cardozo reinvented the
lost Goldtone process from the ground up, marrying the best of
modern technology using Curtis’ exquisite negatives. Goal:
to consistently produce stunning Goldtones as good as the top
half percent of Edward Curtis’ vintage Goldtones. Cardozo
spent over three years and nearly half a million dollars on research
and development. Each framed and printed image is individually
hand-created, together encompassing over 70 different steps.
