A picture is worth a thousand words, and for the Palos Verdes
Art Center's Douglas Kirkland exhibition, each picture had to
be perfect. The exhibit honoring Kirkland - an award-winning
Hollywood photographer who rose to fame in the '60s and
'70s for his intimate portraits of stars including Marilyn
Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, Meryl Streep, and
Charlie Chaplin - required iconic images to be converted to
wide-format exterior wall murals. The catch? All of the
imagery is world-famous, requiring every detail and color to
be exact, and some photos that were taken as early as 1961
had never been converted to digital form.
After turning down a number of proofs from other PSPs,
the client turned to CR&A Custom to bring Kirkland's work to
life. The shop worked closely with the art center to scale the
images to the exact measurements of the building and CR&A
utilized a meticulous color control process to ensure the
wide-format digital print was an exact match to the vibrant
photography. The shop output 1927 square feet of graphics
using an HP Latex 3100, covering the entire building in
Kirkland's art spanning nearly 60 years. When the photographer first saw the wrap, he "became nostalgic and teary eyed
as he viewed his lifetime of work for the first time in largeformat print. In his own words, he called it 'magic,'" says
Carmen Rad, CR&A Custom CEO/president.
