Printmaking involves reproduction, which means that you can have many
(almost) identical copies of an artwork. However, the constraints of reproductive technologies (relief, intaglio, lithography, screen printing) cause the artist to develop a process related language. This exhibition reveals how artists from the collections have used the different print processes to express their creativity in a wonderfully varied panorama.
