The extended version:

Thank you for your interest. My name is Klaus, and I am the founder of this online store.

For me, Xeuxis is the result of a lifelong journey through the multi-layered art world. My educational background includes a degree in photography, a doctorate in art and many years of teaching art.

As an artist, I have exhibited in a wide variety of places – from modest basements to cafés, studios, artist-run exhibition spaces to glamorous art fairs. I have curated exhibitions in museums and exhibited in galleries where my photographs were offered at prices that were unaffordable for most of my acquaintances and followers of my work.

The artificiality of limited editions and the corresponding price-ploitics of the art market system has always been rather dubious to me. As a photographer, using a medium that is based on easy reproduction, this system of the ‘limited edition’ has always been particularly questionable to me.

I myself am an avid collector of affordable historical etchings, which were often produced as representations and reproductions of artworks such as paintings and sculptures. A hero of art history for me is Albrecht Dürer, who clearly recognized the potential of reproducible prints.

A good print, even of a frequently reproduced image, is always a new, contemporary work of art – just as copperplate engravings were in past eras. To summarize: I am a lover and collector of high-quality reproductions – and that is exactly what Xeuxis Editions are.
