Richard Misrach Print | California Seascape (1998) Color Landscape Wall Art
This Richard Misrach print comes from a September 1998 session — a late-afternoon seascape made with Misrach’s 8×10 large-format camera and the precision color exposure that defines his California Pacific Coast body of work.
As a seascape photography print it belongs to Misrach’s ongoing engagement with light, water, and time: California ocean wall art that removes all narrative and leaves only atmosphere, color, and the particular quality of coastal Pacific light.
Available as a large format photography print on 200 GSM museum-grade matte paper in seven sizes from 9×11″ to 24×36″ — color landscape photography print, fully frame-ready.
Works particularly well in a bedroom, living room, or bathroom where the open ocean palette of this California ocean wall art brings calm and spatial depth to the room.
Digital download also available at $3.90 (300 DPI, PDF/JPG).

How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18 to 24 degrees C and humidity at 40 to 60 percent. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50 to 75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25 to 50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Richard Misrach print was made on September 26, 1998 at 6:31 p.m. — Misrach’s habit of precise timestamp titling reflects his interest in photography as duration rather than decisive moment. The result is a seascape photography print that captures the exact quality of late-afternoon Pacific light: the color temperature of the water shifting, the sky at its fullest saturation before sunset.

Misrach’s California ocean wall art has been exhibited internationally and collected by major institutions. His large format photography print process — 8×10 film, precise exposure, large-format color printing — gives his seascape work a tonal depth that digital photography rarely matches at equivalent scale.
