MANUFACTURED IN GERMANY - OUR PARTNERS

For WERKWAHL printing and framing the work of an artist is part of the artwork itself.

In the history of photography photographers like Edward Steichen got well known for their brilliant use of their photo lab to elevate the picture they have taken to another artistic level. We honor the tradition and craftsmanship that comes with developing a picture and present it as a work of art in just the right framing. An aspiration that requires the best in their field - our partners.

The print labs:

We work with Europe's leading photo laboratories specialized in printing works of art. Our partners are RECOMART (Berlin), Whitewall (Berlin), and Cromeart (Munich).

Print can make or break the expression of an artwork. Further more, we think of creating the print as part of creating the final artwork. Choices like color, print media, or printing method have to be absolutely cohesive to the ambience and intention of the original photograph.

Therefore, in cooperation with our partners we develop a concept for each and every print, even within a series of works. The concept includes color (color management, hues, saturation in combination with print media), print media (paper, glass, fabric), printing methods like DITONE or C-PRINT, finish, mounting (Alu Dibond), and embossing (Personalized Artwork).

After all the choices, including testing and fine-tuning, have been made the final production of the print is handled by our partners with utmost care. They use in-house clean room processing to make sure that no dust particles get in touch with the artwork while being printed and mounted.

Our partners expertise in color management, print media, and printing allows us to explore new techniques and media combinations to create the best quality print as an artwork that fits the intention of the artists like a glove.
