Contemporary Engraving: Hyphens

Contemporary Engraving: Hyphens – Paris 2025

The “Contemporary Engraving: Hyphens” exhibition is held in the Town Hall of the 6^tharrondissement of Paris from 15 February to 8 March 2025.

Artists were asked to create three variations of a work of engraving from the same matrix – and to highlight the freedom of expression and technical richness of printmaking.

Nearly 40 engravers took up the challenge to appear in the exhibition. The exhibition highlights the diversity of printmaking in France and abroad.

A special tribute is paid to Adolphe Cieslarczyk (1916-2024) who passed away at the age of 108.
