Giclée - what is this?
Giclée /żiˈkle/ – a technique that has become very popular and fashionable all over the world, especially in the U.S., in recent years. The biggest galleries of New York and San Francisco offer giclées of popular artists. Interestingly, giclée also begins to appear in Poland. Traditionally, a painted work of an artist is multiplied in great quality and limited edition in a giclée print technique on canvas for painting or a high-quality type of paper. Prints are numbered and signed by an artist. Giclée resembles the graphic reflected from metal sheet or piece of wood in the past centuries. It sometimes happened that artists duplicated the most successful pictures in graphic techniques, such as copperplate. This is what the greatest artists did - Rembrandt and Goya, Picasso and Miró. This art was mastered by Andy Warhol, who not only his own but also other people’s pictures, photos or everyday items ‘raised to the rank of works of art’, using screen printing technique in tens or even hundreds of colourful versions of his works.
