The bestiary is an artist’s book in the form of a copper box made in twenty copies, one of which was acquired by the Cabinet des Estampes of the National and University Library of Strasbourg. The prints come from the successive printing of two copper plates engraved from all techniques of the fresh cut: etching, chisel, aquatint, diamond and dry tip….
Presentation of 15 framed prints (55x60cm), the copper box and two copper plates engraved with prints in the windows.

Tribute to Tom Borrocco who animated the JEP 2020 in the courtyard of the museum.
