An up-to-date survey of contemporary printmaking in Switzerland. Text in English, German, French, and Italian.
The 75th anniversary of Edition VFO and its mission of making art accessible.
Edition VFO, Verein für Originalgraphik (Association for Original Prints) was established in 1948 to pursue the goals of publishing contemporary art and making collecting affordable to broader audiences. The Zurich-based non-profit institution remains committed to the dissemination of contemporary art and is now the largest of the remaining publishers of original printed editions in Switzerland.
Print Art Now marks Edition VFOs 75th anniversary. It brings together three exhibitions in Switzerland, at the Musée Jenisch in Vevey, the Museo Civico Villa dei Cedri in Bellinzona, and the Kunsthaus Grenchen, all curated for the occasion. They respectively explore the topics of collecting prints today, the technical and artistic challenges of printmaking, and the emancipation of print as a medium within the traditional hierarchy of visual art. The featured artworks demonstrate how print is constantly evolving as an artistic technique and has become equal to painting, photography, sculpture, or video. The beautiful volume also offers an up-to-date survey of printmaking in Switzerland and highlights its relevance in contemporary art practice.
