We are pleased to announce a release of the fall issue of Celebrating Print, a publication that covers fine art print and printmaking in Central and Eastern Europe.

In this issue, art historian Julia Meszaros offers a survey of modern Hungarian printmaking, which encompasses early forms of narrative works as well as the radical trends of 1980s and 1990s, when artists defied the medium’s traditions by experimenting with Xerox technology and other devices. Curator Barbora Kundracikova explores the aesthetic nature of prints in Sensing Beyond Seeing by applying theory to the works of Alena Kucerova, Marie Blabolilova and Romana Rotterova—three Czech printmakers who continuously translate their personal experiences into digestible pictorial content. The issue also delves into the realm of fantasy art, a phenomenon typically associated with Central and Eastern European print. Art historian Eva Trojanova’s Carousels of Life focuses on the expansive oeuvre of Slovak artist Vladimir Gazovic and his “efforts to reveal the truth” by combining astute observations of reality with phantasmal motifs. Fluctuations between dreams and reality find a fixed state in the works of Kamila Stanclova, another Slovak artist interviewed by editor Katerina Kyselica. Stanclova’s line-based etchings come interlaced with sublime shapes generated by her imagination and subconscious. Croatian artist Ana Vivoda, whose project Traces is presented to shed light on the printmaking process, reflects on her interactions with the environment as she marks the matrix.

The fall issue (and the previous two issues) can be purchased as an individual issue or via subscription at www.celebratingprint.com.

Celebrating Print is the only English publication about fine art print and printmaking practice in Central and Eastern Europe. Curators, scholars and printmaking educators contribute articles, essays and interviews that profile modern and contemporary print across the region. Celebrating Print was founded as an information platform for scholars, collectors and print enthusiasts to navigate the culture of Central and Eastern European print as well as discover works by present-day creators that reflect the region’s rich tradition. Launched in 2015, the biannual magazine is published in full-color in October and April by New York–based creative studio KADS New York in both print and digital format.
