Hermann Kern wrote the following in an exhibition catalog in 1967: “It is not uncommon for original works printed using one of these new processes to be mistaken for reproductions. This is true of any segment of the public that has not yet grasped that the ‘originality’ of a print does not depend on the printing process itself, but on the manner in which it is applied; that the attribute ‘original’ does not refer to a technical process, but to the artist’s intellectual achievement” (quoted from Lutze, p. 8). - Supplement: Horst Antes.
