High Pressure NOW. 70 years of XYLON

Under the impression of an international woodcut exhibition in Zurich, the artists HAP Grieshaber, Erich Heckel, Gerhard Marcks, Ewald Mataré, Otto Pankok, Max Pechstein and Karl Rössing came together in 1953 to form the German section of XYLON - at the same time as the international association, whose first president was Frans Masereel. To this day, XYLON Germany is one of the most active and member-strongest associations of its kind in the world. With its work, it aims above all to bundle and network those artistic positions that set new impulses in their examination of letterpress printing, especially woodblock printing, and expand the medium to include important contemporary aspects. In the exchange between artists and XYLON as well as the scientific and curatorial work of the Kunstmuseum, the oldest print medium is thus cultivated and constantly developed further in Reutlingen.
