Vortrag: Lichtdruck-Kunst Leipzig: Ein Denkmal bewegen und erhalten

Collotype is considered the queen of printing techniques - a flat printing process that is little known and extremely rare today. The Museum of Printing Arts in Leipzig is one of the few places in the world where this unique printing process is still practiced and can also be experienced. The machines and equipment in the museum's collotype workshop originate from the famous Leipzig printing company C.G. Röder (later OAN). Thanks to a donation at the end of 2013, the entire ensemble was transferred to the collection of the Museum of Printing Arts. In his lecture, Michael Barthel from the Leipzig collotype workshop will share insights into how a monument of this size can be moved, preserved and made fit for the future. Afterwards, we will visit the workshop and learn more about what makes the collotype process so special.
