From Schreiner’s catalog, 2017: BLACK MIRROR (Schreiner 2017) ML. 36" $60.00. "I fell in love with black. It contained all color. It wasn't a negative of color. Black is the most aristocratic color of all. You can be quiet and it contains the whole thing." - Louise Nevelson. Aside from a slight trace of yellow on its beards, Black Mirror, as shown in our photo below, is as black as the inside of a closet. Broad at the haft and silky smooth, this child of Midnight Oil features marvelous rippling as well as stippled falls. Its balance and proportion are ideal, making this finely tailored raven-black, irresistible. Seedling TT274-A.
