Michel-Édouard Leclerc
The Artcurial Bookshop, a reference point for art publications and recognised for its signed books, conferences and exhibitions, was the first contemporary art bookshop in Paris. Located on the ground floor of the auction house, the bookshop has always championed engravings, limited-run editions and artists’ books and this collaboration with MEL publisher demonstrates the commitment of the bookshop’s director, Géraldine Martin, to supporting and promoting published art.
Just like the Bookshop, MEL Publisher is keen to bring together a broad variety of artists. This is why the artists Barthélémy Toguo, James Rielly and Damien Deroubaix have chosen to pass a week in residence at the Bergerac workshop, in order to take on the challenge of working with that most formidable tool of creativity - the engraving. Whether using the giant presses of the Idem workshop (Paris 14th district) or those of Stéphane Guilbaud (Bergerac), each has a press and plates able to produce engravings to a truly impressive size (120 x 160 cms). There are only 3 workshops in the world still able to offer this unique format, dating from the 19th century.
