Inkjet reproductions of 200 of the Western world’s greatest paintings have been brought together in an interactive exposition in an old warehouse in Rotterdam, Netherlands. ‘200 Greatest Paintings’ includes works from 80 different museums, and by more than hundred artists.
Agfa Graphics and partner TVE in Sint Oedenrode, Netherlands, reproduced the artworks using Agfa wide-format inkjet printers outputting onto a variety of substrates ranging from carton over canvas to wood, dibond, and glass. Another partner, Mediacenter Rotterdam, printed the catalogue and flyers for the exhibition using Agfa Graphics' chemistry-free Azura TU printing plates and Sublima screening technology.
"It goes without saying that the works displayed are not the originals," said organiser Mart Walda. "The purpose of the exhibition is to make it possible for everyone to experience art. It had to be entertaining so please expect to see beamers, touchscreens and interactivity with apps for smartphones. And yes... anyone who wants to touch can do so."
