Since 1989, the Louvre Museum and the Réunion des musées nationaux have entrusted contemporary artists with the task of producing engraved plates for Chalcographie, which ensures the exclusivity of the print run, without limitation on the number of prints.
Very different trends in contemporary art are represented. Geneviève Asse meets Georg Baselitz, Pierre Courtin, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Pat Steir, Jean-Michel Alberola, Robert Morris, Louise Bourgeois, Markus Raetz, Pierre Alechinsky or Agathe May.
Agathe May was born in 1956 in Neuilly-sur-Seine. She specialized in engraving at the Ecole nationale supérieure des Arts décoratifs de Paris. In 1983, she won the prize from the Académie de France in Rome and stayed two years at Villa Médicis. Back in Paris, she received the Lacourière Prize in 1986.
