I was in Chicago early this week and made my usual stop at the
Art Institute. While looking at the current exhibit from the permanent collection I noticed that a couple of the Irving Penn platinum prints said they were mounted on aluminum plate. Can anyone explain why this was done? Archival purposes or simply something to do with the original presentation by Penn?
