Incography (modern copy) has occupied an important place in the vast pantheon of contemporary printmaking for more than a decade now, still remaining an innovative and attractive investment. In addition to its investment, interior and aesthetic qualities, the collector's dimension of inkography is a new opening in the design space and the art market.
So why printmaking? Inkography makes it possible to purchase original signed prints by the most outstanding Polish artists at attractive prices. Recently, we have seen an increase in interest in prints at auctions and in galleries. Inkography is becoming an increasing choice of investors and designers.
Inkography has a format: 345 x 480 mm (print).
