Himmelblau - Gallery by the Rapids
Himmelblau Printmaking Studio is located in the heart of Tampere, within the historic Finlayson factory area. Founded in 1989, it has a handsome workshop with a spacious gallery, featuring changing exhibitions by outstanding artists. The workshop employs some of the finest printers in Europe. Editions of fine art prints are created there – works by masters of the tradition of intaglio, as well as works by artists of a new generation of printmaking. Artists are invited to the workshop to create new work, with the staff's assistance. Himmelblau specializes in copperplate intaglio printmaking techniques, and occasionally uses other methods, including woodcut. The gallery has changing exhibitions, alongside a vast collection of prints by artists who have worked with Himmelblau over the years. By 2011 Himmelblau has published 1500 editions. |
