Deviating from the annual print portfolios, IPEP India published For the Love of Printmaking in 2025, bringing together curated papers from India’s first ever symposium dedicated to Printmaking organised as part of its tenth year celebrations in 2023.
The publication includes thoughts from 10 countries penned in 15 papers by 20 artists and authors related to the art’s theory, criticism and practice.
RD contributed in the design and co-published this volume with the programme’s initiator Rajesh Pullarwar. The hope is for a future where IPEP India’s portfolio artists and publication writers cross into each-others’ territories to share their experiences and thoughts in various forms.
Convened and co-edited by Nikhil Purohit and Lina Vincent with a foreword by Waswo X. Waswo; and Carinna Parraman, Director, CFPR, UK as Guest Editor; the printing was supported by Art Heritage Gallery, Delhi. The book saw a packed-house launch at NGMA, Mumbai in the presence of prominent figures from India’s print and art world, including Dr. Pheroza Godrej, Art Historian & Patron; Dr. Him Kumar Chatterjee, VC, Sir J J School of Art, Architecture & Design; Mrs. Nidhi Choudhary, IAS, Director, NGMA Mumbai; Reema Desai Gehi, Editor, Art India.
Just like the portfolios, the symposium and the publication involves pure barter of knowledge. The suggested minimum donation (₹500/ copy + Shipping) is a well discounted amount of the entire cost and will support expenses beyond the printing of this edition.
