Discover modern lithography art, serigraphs, and fine art prints produced by Perrotin Gallery. Each original print is signed, numbered, and crafted using quality printing techniques.
Modern lithography art is a fine art printing process that originated in the 19th century, based on drawing with greasy ink or crayon on a limestone or metal plate. This printmaking technique allows artists to create rich colour tones, subtle textures, and precise lines. At Perrotin Gallery, each lithograph is hand-printed colour by colour on premium art paper, producing authentic works that combine traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. Every edition is signed, numbered, and accompanied by an authenticity certificate.
An original lithograph stands apart from reproductions by its signature and edition number (for example, 7/50). It's not a digital copy, but an art print created directly by the artist or under their supervision, using greasy inks on stone or metal plates. Each impression is pressed manually, ensuring variations in colour, tone, and surface that make every print unique. Perrotin Editions guarantees authenticity and quality with a meticulous printing process and archival materials.
The Perrotin Gallery offers several forms of modern and contemporary printmaking, including:
- Lithography, known for its refined texture, depth, and subtle colour layering
- Serigraphy (screen printing), highlighting bold, vibrant colours and graphic contrast
- Piezography, a high-resolution inkjet printing technique using multiple black and grey inks to achieve exceptional tonal range
- Fine art digital prints, combining precision with modern artistic design
Each print is created in a limited edition series, signed, numbered, and printed on fine art paper, offering collectors authentic contemporary works.
Lithography was invented in Germany at the end of the 18th century and became widely used by painters and illustrators in Paris during the 19th and 20th centuries. Artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre Bonnard, and other modern masters elevated this printing process into a full-fledged art form. Today, contemporary artists continue to explore this medium, producing modern lithographs that merge historical technique and innovative design, bridging the gap between artistic tradition and current trends.
