Lichtdruck (Light Print):
The Lichtdruck, also known as photogravure, is a highly precise printing process used especially in the art and photography industry. It is based on the principle of photochemistry. First, a transparent negative or positive of the desired image is produced. This is laid onto a coated printing plate and exposed under UV light. Where the light hits the coating, it cures and forms a resistant layer. After exposure, the plate is developed, with the unexposed areas being washed away while the hardened layer remains. The plate is then inked and printed onto special paper. Lichtdruck enables high detail accuracy and tonal reproduction, making it particularly well suited for reproducing artworks and photographs. Despite its elaborate production, Lichtdruck delivers outstanding image quality and durability.
Shipping information:
We roll prints onto sturdy hard cardboard cores, wrap them with corrugated cardboard, and ship them in specially designed, very stable boxes.

Yves Tanguy:
Yves Tanguy, a standout representative of Surrealism, has influenced a multitude of artists and has been inspired by many himself. Tanguy’s dreamlike, abstract landscapes are closely connected with artists such as Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, who were also major figures of Surrealism.
His enigmatic and often biomorphic forms find parallels in the works of Joan Miró and Max Ernst, who explored similar surrealist techniques and themes. Tanguy’s distinctive visual language also influenced artists like André Masson and Hans Arp.
In modern art, his influence can be seen in the works of Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, whose Abstract Expressionism builds on Tanguy’s innovative depictions of the subconscious. The symbolic works of Roberto Matta and Arshile Gorky also bear his mark.
Tanguy’s unmistakable style is reflected in the paintings of Kay Sage, his wife, and Leonora Carrington, whose surrealist compositions touch on similar themes. The surreal elements in the paintings of Dorothea Tanning and Remedios Varo also show his influence.
Artists such as Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp, known for their experimental and surrealist works, were influenced by Tanguy’s visionary landscapes. His ideas about symbolism and the unconscious found echoes in the works of Paul Delvaux and Giorgio de Chirico.
Other notable artists inspired by Tanguy or who pursued similar paths include Balthus and René Magritte, whose paintings possess comparable mysterious qualities. The dynamic forms and surreal landscapes in the works of Matta and Wilfredo Lam also reflect his influence.
Tanguy’s influence extends to abstract art as represented by Jean Dubuffet and Yves Klein. His surreal approach to form and space is also found in the works of Alberto Giacometti and Henry Moore.
The experimental and surrealist works of Louise Bourgeois and Isamu Noguchi carry Tanguy’s artistic signature. His ideas about the unconscious and the surreal influenced artists such as Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud.
In contemporary art, parallels to Tanguy can be found in the works of Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer, whose experimental approaches and material diversity reflect his influence. The works of Anish Kapoor and Sigmar Polke also show his surrealist influences.
Other notable artists connected with Tanguy’s work include Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, whose works are characterized by a similar playful and often ironic stance. The works of Cy Twombly and Ellsworth Kelly also show the continuation of his artistic explorations.
Tanguy’s ideas about the fusion of art and surrealism are evident in the works of Bauhaus colleagues such as László Moholy-Nagy and Paul Klee. His principles of surrealist art also influenced artists like Alexander Calder and Joan Miró.
Overall, Yves Tanguy remains a central figure in modern art, whose influence spans generations. From the surreal landscapes of Roberto Matta to the experimental works of Gerhard Richter, his vision of surrealist art laid the groundwork for many subsequent artists and remains relevant and inspiring today.

Seller's Story
We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists.
The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging.
If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
