Do you know what’s missing from the Köln art scene? Druckgrafik. This medium is fascinating. Artists who are attracted to the medium vary in personality -- compared to other types of artists. All German art schools have Druckgrafik Werkstatt’s...so why aren’t we seeing more Druckgrafik exhibitions? Schade. I’m currently in Berlin visiting various Werkstatt’s and Druckgrafik experts in order to see the process in action and hunt for talent. The exhibition will be called Dirty Fingers. Hopefully this week I’ll find a room in Köln to host the exhibition around August or so. It would be great if there were an old, abandoned Druckgrafik Werkstatt or Fabrik.

The concept for the exhibition is slowly coming together. I would like to show various techniques in order to explain how each process functions. The challenge is determine which artists to exhibit because there are so many amazing, talented artists working in this medium in Germany. Do I show some of my Seattle artists, too? Do I exhibit two artists per technique or one? Since all of you have different taste in subject matter, the exhibition will consist of abstract, figurative, landscape, minimalist, maybe a few others.
