Till Verclas — While still an art student in Hamburg in 1979, Verclas founded his own printmaking studio, going on to work with renowned German and American artists such as Baselitz and Twombly. Verclas works not only in printmaking, but also in large-scale sculpture in bronze, wood, and steel. His artist’s books are often made as a reaction to the sculptural installations. Verclas’s work can be found in public collections across Germany and the United States.
