The printing press, built in 1892, used to create the lithographs, is recognized for the intense depth of its black color, as described by Patrice Forest, director of Atelier Idem. Mastering this particular machine, the crew of 6 to 8 craftswomen and craftsmen working in perfect harmony was able to deliver the deepest black, clarity, and definition, highlighting Frank Miller’s exceptional artwork.

08/21/2023

Our collaboration with Frank Miller began at the end of 2021, when Lucas Hureau, director of MEL Publisher and curator of Michel E. Leclerc's comics collection, contacted me regarding their desire to work with one of the most iconic American artists in the field of comics: Frank Miller.

Through my gallery, I got to meet the artist. One night, while Frank was having dinner at my place, I pitched him the idea of traveling to Paris and having him produce a very limited series of high-quality lithographs in the oldest French workshop in Paris: Atelier Idem.

A few weeks later, Frank enthusiastically agreed to the project, on condition that he retained total artistic and qualitative control over the process. We were ready to travel to Paris in June 2022 and spend a week in the historic atelier to create the lithographs.

08/15/2023

Throwback to this amazing moment at Atelier Idem for our special collaboration with Frank Miller. So grateful to have collaborators, friends and an amazing team of craftsmen joining us in this adventure. It took four days of hard work, passion and dedication to achieve the absolute perfection!

For our special collaboration with Frank Miller, we decided to collaborate with Atelier Idem - the oldest Printmaking workshop specializing in lithographs in France.

A special artist in a special workshop - Frank Miller, and the Atelier Idem team worked for four days on the lithographs in order to achieve the quality that the masted was seeking.

The lithographs are on view through August 2023 at the gallery. Follow the link in our bio for more information.

08/03/2023

At last! After five days of intense work, the official signing and numbering of the lithographs has finally taken place.
Frank Miller insisted on signing with his full signature rather than his simpler monograph: FM.

The artist's proofs, which are the first lithographs produced, therefore with the highest definition and warmth, are available for purchase at the gallery.
Using a Marinoni press dating back more than a century (1892), the quality and depth of the artist's proofs are simply outstanding!

We offer five lithographs from each series, numbered in Roman numerals:

Marv: VI to X
Nancy: VI to X

The first five prints remain the property of the artist.

The works will be on display in the gallery starting this Saturday August 5th at 10am.
We look forward to welcoming you and presenting them to you.

Lithography is based on the mutual antipathy of oil and water. The image is copied or drawn directly onto a metal plate with a grease or fat-based medium, such as a wax crayon or an ink wash. After chemical treatment, the plate is dampened and then inked with a roller. The ink adheres to the greasy surface of the image and can then be transferred to paper as a print.

“Prints made are always a particular combination of the artist in conversation with the stone or plate, and the printer in conversation with the press,” said William Kentridge who has worked extensively with Atelier Idem.

The exceptional collaboration between Philippe Labaune and Frank Miller presents two series of artist's proof lithographs produced at Atelier Idem, the oldest printmaking workshop in France as well as two artist's proofs silkscreens created at Atelier Tchikebe, France's leading workshop for the medium. All the lithographs and silkscreens were signed by Frank Miller in Paris and are numbered from VI to X.

All Miller’s prints are available to buy from August 1st and can be viewed at the gallery starting on August 5th.

Author, cartoonist, screenwriter and director, Frank Miller is one of the masters of our generation. The artist is undoubtedly one of the most influential innovators of the 'ninth art' of the 20th century. His work includes groundbreaking graphic novels such as The Dark Knight Returns, Ronin, Sin City, Daredevil, Elektra, 300 and Wolverine.
His graphic style remains inimitable, often copied but never equaled!

“Painting is the idea of exploring another perception. To work on a bigger scale means you need another approach, even if my painting is a cartoonist’s painting. One can find my black line in the drawings. I am not its prisoner; on the contrary, it structures everything and is part of my writing and style.”
—François Avril

François Avril’s clear lines and geometric shapes are a product of years of experimentation as a young illustrator. As he matured, he found himself naturally progressing from the small format of a page to larger formats on canvas, a transition which demands concentrated energy—suitable for the artist’s meticulous technique.

“Vertical Silence” is on view through May 27. Follow the link in our bio to learn more.

“The landscapes, urban or otherwise, that I draw are never an exact reproduction, I rather reinvent them.”

François Avril () draws from memory, using the clear line popularized by Hergé and “The Adventures of Tintin” to turn the focus on the alluring charm of the cities he holds dear.

For our project with Frank Miller, the artist sought to immerse himself in the atmosphere of the workshop and wanted to create large prints reminiscent of 19th-century movie posters. We used the largest and one of the oldest presses still running today in Europe. The Marinoni “Double Grand Monde” nicknamed “Moby Dick” by David Lynch is considered the “Rolls Royce Phantom” of the printing press for the intense depth of its black color, as described by Patrice Forest, director of Idem. Atelier Idem had to restore the machine before the artist’s venue as the constraints associated with a machine large at about 30 feet and that ancient (built-in 1892 or 1893) needs a lot of TLC! Powered by a gas steam boiler, it is driven by pulleys and belts and requires 8 printmakers to operate simultaneously. Frank Miller kept saying watching the team that operating such a giant was like “watching dancers performing a highly complicated synchronized ballet”. . . . #frankmiller #atelieridem #sincity #lithography #lithographs #frankmillerart #comics #comicart

François Avril’s (@francois_avril) segment on TV5Monde highlighting his solo exhibition “Vertical Silence,” his first presentation with the gallery as well as his debut showcase in the United States. The artist seeks to push the boundaries between graphic novels, comic illustration, and fine art through a marriage of the clear line popularized by Hergé with a rejuvenating twist. “Vertical Silence” is on view through May 27. Follow the link in our bio for more information.

“Crepax,” the exhibition for late Italian artist Guido Crepax is now on view through April 15 at our gallery located on 534 West 24th Street. The drawings and illustrations on view were made half a century ago almost exclusively with black chinese ink. The original boards have been preserved by the estate and this is their first gallery exhibition in the United States in seven years. Crepax developed a scratchy, lighter style over time to shape the contorted figures of Valentina and her peers—his seductive character design complemented by a fluid transition between genres allowed him to widen the scope of his tales, taking his heroines on fantastical erotic adventures which explore their carnal urges and hidden desires.

The Cotton Club, 1930’s. Jack Johnson is getting ready to welcome Duke Ellington! The jazzy notes are flying across the screen, while we are moving towards the internationally renowned stage. This vignette is part of “Queenie”, a dazzling graphic novel set in the prohibition years when booze money is about to dry out. Reminiscent of comics from the golden age, the vignette sometime look like Bauhaus posters. The style is modern and, at the same time, preserves a vintage dimension. “Queenie” brings the Harlem of the 20s and 30s back to life! • Elizabeth Colomba,”In Da Club, 2022 NFT ETH 1 (One Ethereum) • #3continents #comicart #elizabethcolomba #nft #philippelabaunegallery #chelseagalleries #newyorkevent #womenillustration #womenartist

Opening Night Georges Bess: Tale of Unrealism Thursday September 9th - October 5th, 2021 Philippe Labaune Gallery is pleased to present Tale of Unrealism- an exhibition featuring a selection of large-scale drawings and illustrations by French artist Georges Bess. This is the first time the artist will be exhibiting in the United States. Bess, an illustrator of comics and graphic novels, is recognized as a master of line and ink and for his collaborations with renowned Chilean-French artist Alejandro Jodorowsky. In recent works, Bess breaks away from the parameters of the book, creating ornate worlds originating from a single page that he expands upon intuitively, in a trance-like state of drawing. Also on view will be a collection of original comic strips from Bram Stoker Dracula (2018) and his 1989 graphic novel Le Lama Blanc (The White Lama). Tale of Unrealism will be on view September 9 – October 5, 2021, with an opening reception on Thursday, September 9, 11 AM to 9 PM.
