In High Tauern II, Ziggy Kańczukowski presents a deeply atmospheric view of the Dorfertal valley, resting quietly at the foot of the Grossglockner in Austria. The composition focuses on the stillness of Dorfersee Lake, avoiding the aggressive drama often associated with alpine photography. Instead of jagged, imposing peaks, the artist captures a moment of shroud and mystery, where the mountains are softly consumed by low-hanging clouds. The image is characterized by a distinct graininess, which dissolves the sharp details into a cohesive, tonal landscape, evoking a sense of silence and timeless monumentalism.

This collector’s piece is available as a strictly limited edition of 8 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Originating from a digital photograph treated with a film-like aesthetic, it is rendered on Hahnemühle German Etching paper. The heavyweight 310 gsm substrate and its velvety texture perfectly complement the image's grain, deepening the mood and giving the print the tactile quality of a charcoal drawing or an etching. Each print is hand-signed and numbered on the verso, accompanied by a hologram-secured Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).

For the ultimate presentation, the optional WhiteWall frame with Museum Glass offers virtually invisible glazing with 99% UV protection. This ensures the artwork remains pristine, protecting the delicate tonal transitions from fading and allowing the viewer to experience the misty atmosphere without distracting reflections for generations.
