More than fifty years ago, two young Italian art students met, fell in love and got married. Sharing a passion for expressing the beauty of art print and armed with talents and youthful optimism Valter and Eleonora Rossi established Rome's Art Print Shop 2RC in 1959.
On show are nearly 160 graphic masterpieces by world renowned artists who have collaborated with the couple over the past five decades. Among the artists are Francis Bacon, Alexander Calder, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Jannis Kounellis, Man Ray, Henry Moore and Julian Schnabel.
There once was a time when graphic artists generally didn't believe the medium was capable of properly expressing their vision. But the Rossis have their own flair for convincing the artists. They have mastered ways of devising and perfecting the treating of plates and paper to achieve results that satisfy the demanding artists.
