ON BUYING FINE ART PRINTS Page ZC Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Tuesday. February 13. 1975 ROBERT FREEMAN AND EASTMAN'S FUTURE artists such as Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Dali make prints in virtually unlimited editions for the mass market. Mon-eymaking, not esthetic concerns, is paramount.

Often these artists leave the work to assistants or technicians though they may sign the works in question. Not everything by these artists is in this category but the buyer should be aware of the difference and make his decision accordingly. Some Chagal prints, for example, are made by a lithographic technician from Chagall's sketches. Chagall's hand never touches the plates at all. Some people consider these to be originals since Chagall signs them.

Others dont. OCCASIONALLY unscrupulous dealers will flood the market with signed and numbered fraudulent works and framed reproductions worth about twenty cents each and sell them for hundreds of dollars as original prints. Occasionally these are even signed by the artist. What you are buying then is an autograph. This is often done by the devious though legal method in which the works are described by terms such as "pochoir" or Both are terms for the kind of photo-mechanical methods used in dime store reproductions.

But many laymen are too embarrassed to ask. SO WHAT is a collector to do? Robert Henning, Jr. cur ator of the Memorial Art Gallery has five infallable print buying rules: 1. Always go to an established, reputable dealer. 2.

Be suspicious of galleries in tourist spots, dealers who travel from town to town or mail and subscription plans. 3. Get as clear a statement as possible from the seller about what you are buying. 4. Learn as much as possible by visiting galleries and museums.

"You wouldn't buy stocks and bonds without investigating, don't buy art on the basis of hearsay," Henning says. 5. But only what you like. Don't buy "names" and don't buy specifically for an investment. Small dealers which sell the works of unknown artists are generally safe.

No one is going to bother to make copies of an unknown artist's work for the prices are so low that it would be unprofitable. A COMMON misconception even in educated circles is that the numbering of modern prints is important. The assumption is that the first print of a series is superior to say the twentieth. This doesn't hold true since modern printing plates are so durable that all prints within an edition will be of identical quality. From IC The lectures will coincide with several print exhibitions at the Gallery: "Curator's Choice," including the work of 60 area printmakers (through March 2), prints by Kathe Kollwitz, (through March 9) and prints by Robert Motherwell (through March 11).

On Sunday, at 2:30 p.m. a film "Etching and Color Intaglio: A Close Up of the Medium" will be shown at the Gallery. PRIYTMAKING is an art form that attracts artist for its unique properties. Various types include etchings, woodcuts, mezzotints, drypoints, serigraphs, lithographs and combinations of these. Basically there are four methods of printmaking: 1.) Relief with the design raised above the surface of the plate (as in a woodcut) 2.) Intaglio with the design incised below the surface (as in an etching) 3.) planographic with the design drawn with grease on the surface (as in a lithograph) and 4.) stencil with the ink pushed through an opening (as in a serigraph).

The price factor makes print collecting very popular for collectors of moderate means. Quality prints by unknown artists can sometimes be found for as little as $10. (The Shoestring Gallery, 2180 Monroe Avenue is a good place to find them) even well known artists often sell their works in the $100 range. The price of prints goes up dramatically however when the artist in question is a star. Prints by such personalities as Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Robert Motherwell and others often go for thousands of dollars.

That's a lot less than their paintings, but hardly what you'd call inexpensive. THE AREAS to avoid are those that are currently fashionable. They command the highest prices and are the areas on which forgers often prey. Another problem is that many big name make it into a music-education school. I get the impression that it is moving in that direction from certain quarters, but not from Mr.

Wallis." THE STATE of education at Eastman today is one of confusion, not so much in terms of classroom teaching or private lessons, but in the broader, philosophical questions of what the music school should be. Hanson has talked about the future. Freeman has written an address called "Our Future: For Music." The University, as with any corporation, is concerned with ten-year plans. Sproull, in his inaugural address, spoke of the goals of the university and identified three major tasks facing his administration: "1.) To solidify and make universal the quality of faculty and programs at the high level already established in most departments; 2.) to secure the recognition required to continue to attract and retain the students and faculty we deserve; 3. to obtain the financial resources we need to complete this academic development and to guarantee that it will endure." There are fears that Eastman's reputation as a professional school may be suffering.

The school's reputation among professionals, especially in New York City, has not gone unscathed over the past few years. "The assessment in professional circles, in general, is that the Eastman School as a professional school is done for," said one prominent musician who works out of New York. It may not be that bad, but the events of the recent past have been a source of interest and concern to alumni, to Roch-esterians, to educators, to musicians, to students. As it enters the second half of the first century of its existence, the Eastman School of Music faces its greatest challenge. TOMORROW: An interview with Robert Freeman From 1C u-ere extremely low under Howard Hanson, but now are more in line with the rest of the university.

"But there are educational issues too. The U. of R. is a fine university, but it is ail related to academic interests rather than the professional aspects of a music school. "The question is, should Eastman School remain a professional school? I cannot agree with this 'broadening' theory, that students are better off mingling with other non-music students.

It is a fallacy." But she is convinced that, inevitably, the university's wishes will prevail, and that the school will move. "There's not a question in the world but that it will move." (At a Nov. 6, 1972 meeting of the Faculty Senate, Wallis observed that "sentiment on the River Campus is almost 100 per cent in favor of the THERE IS a feeling around the halls of Eastman that Freeman is not entirely his own man, at least not in the sense that Hanson was. "Mr. Hanson just stood up and told them (university administrators) where to go," said Flora Burton.

"Hecould stand up and really battle with the best of them." "Freeman is a very unhappy man," said one Eastman faculty member. "The director is trying very hard to do what is right and is profoundly unhappy at the way things have turned out so far. He's confused and resentful." One source very close to the workings of Freeman's administration from the beginning, and who cannot be identified because he fears for his job, said that Freeman came to Eastman "with the greatest mandate he could have had, and said he recognized the problems in the past and would do something about them. "Bob gave the appearance of being honest and open with students and faculty, but then he worked behind their backs. In a way, his loss of credibility was planned.

When you lose credibility with your students and faculty, who's going to believe you? What do you have? He's dependent on the U. of R. central administration. They have him right where they want him. He has no power other than wh at the administration gives him.

"Part of Freeman's problem is he lectures people. He could get away with that at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a professor of music) or at Princeton, but not at Eastman. The students at Princeton are used to sitting in lecture halls. Eastman students are used to playing their instruments. "He's the Rodney Dangerfield of music.

He doesn't think he gets enough respect from the students and faculty. And he's right. He doesn't. They give their respect to performers, not lecturers." WALTER HENDL. the Eastman director from 1964 to 1972, said he felt he had more or less complete control over the school'sdestiny as long as it was off the River Campus.

"Howard Hanson and I agreed completely on this particular point. Howard was afraid that I would be bandied about by the River Campus. That's why I fought moving the school for nearly 10 years. Peter Mennin (the Juilliard School director, currently Hendl's boss) told me, 'Move up to the River Campus and you're "Hendl said he originally recommended that the school stay downtown, changed his mind briefly, then reverted to his anti-move stance. He emphasized that Chancellor Wallis "trusted me.

He had complete faith in me. At no time did Mr. Wallis ever deny me anything I wanted to do." Hendl said that "to keep the school professional costs money. It costs less to NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN TELEPHONE RATE SCHEDULES Notice is hereby Riven that a tariff filing has been made, with a proposed effective date of March 1, 1975, which provides for the following revisions: 1.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Public Service Commission has commenced a proceeding to inquire into the merits of, and the principles and methodology for, the revision of electric rate structures. The pricing practices of New York's electric utilities will be thoroughly examined.

The Commission will also seek to determine to what extent the overlapping principles of incremental cost and peak responsibility should be applied to sales of electricity and in what ways these principles may be applied for example, time-of-day metering, seasonal rate differentials and interruptible service). The Commission believes that each of these approaches may provide a fruitful basis for changes in rate design which will serve the goals of energy conservation, the efficient allocation of resources and, by preventing waste, holding down the costs of service to the consuming public. The proceeding is not technically a rate-making proceeding and the determination therein will not set specific rates; however, the principles which may be developed and the matters which may be determined in the proceeding may have a direct impact upon rates paid by specific customers and classes of customers in future rate cases. If you are interested in receiving notices of the public hearings in this matter, write to: Samuel R. Madison, Secretary Public Service Commission 44 Holland Avenue Albany, New York 12208 and request that you receive notices in Case 26086.
