Why It Matters
The twenty-colour lithography and production at Idem Studio, a legendary Paris atelier used by generations of major artists, place Tributo in a distinguished printmaking lineage. The Marinoni press and hand-cut BFK Rives paper signal a fine-art print of exceptional technical ambition.
Collector Perspective
The prestige of Idem Studio, the complex twenty-colour process and hand-cut premium paper distinguish Tributo from Vhils's giclée editions. The horizontal 70 by 100 format and edition of 150 make it a marquee lithographic acquisition for collectors valuing craft and provenance.
Historical Context
Made in 2023 at Idem Studio in Paris, an atelier historically associated with Picasso, Matisse and Chagall among others, Tributo connects Vhils to a storied European lithographic tradition. The title, meaning tribute, suits a work rooted in that heritage of fine printmaking.
