Originals in this selection, Collagraphs, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Build, ink, press
Collagraphs stand between printmaking and relief: the plate is a small object before it prints an image. Collagraphs from 500 to 1,000 euro are for sale for those who prefer elaborately crafted sheets with clear tactility.
The plate is assembled from paper, fabric, foil, and pastes, then sealed and inked. The impression then shows not just color but also the height differences of the plate as embossing in the sheet. What is special is the union of drawing, sculpture, and print in a single process.

Motifs and styles
Collagraphs are often abstract, because material and structure form the image. Add a distinct color effect, especially with ink, which recalls velvety shadows. Figurative work is also possible but looks softer than etching. Anyone seeking depth on the wall without hanging a painting is in good hands here.
Size, paper, care
At 500 to 1,000 euro, medium and larger formats are likely. Choose a paper that can bear the embossing and have the sheet framed with a spacer. Clean the surface only dry, with a soft brush. A sheet of this kind should not be rolled but stored flat or framed.
