From 1982 to 1998, Micha Kloth worked for the renowned Quensen lithography workshop, which produced prints for and in collaboration with artists such as Georg Baselitz, Jörg Immendorff and A.R.

During a one-hour visit, Kloth will give visitors a tour of the premises and introduce them to the craft of lithography while talking about his experiences as part of contemporary art production.

Micha Kloth is a trained color lithographer and artist. In addition to his work for the Quensen lithography printing company, he has been a guest lecturer at the University of Eskisehir in Anatolia, Turkey, and the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. Since 2011, he has been leading the pilot project “Printing with people with disabilities”.
Cost: €5.50 p.p.

Places are limited. Book tickets in advance online here or by phone on 0151 67967825. Further information can be found here.
