Since 1989, the Musée du Louvre and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux have entrusted contemporary artists with the task of producing engraved plates for the Chalcographie, which is responsible for the exclusive printing of the plates, with no limit on the number of prints.
Very different trends in contemporary art are represented. Geneviève Asse rubs shoulders with Georg Baselitz, Pierre Courtin, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Pat Steir, Jean-Michel Alberola, Robert Morris, Louise Bourgeois, Markus Raetz, Pierre Alechinsky and Agathe May.
Robert Morris, an American artist, was born in Kansas City in 1931. He works on the different processes of elaboration of a work, following an idea suggested by the practice of dance.
Starting in 1961, he used plywood to create "unitary forms" painted in gray, so that the focus would be on the volumes. He also used incised felt panels in 1967, then produced Land Art works. He also practiced photography, film and engraving.
