Within the framework of the XVII edition of the Premio Combat, a new and significant recognition is introduced: the Special Prize – PrintLitoArt, promoted by PrintLitoArt, an Italian industrial atelier specialized in the production of certified fine art lithographs.
The prize is conceived with the aim of enhancing lithography as a contemporary artistic language and as a means of disseminating artistic practice, fostering a dialogue between creative research and the highest standards of technical execution. The award includes the production, at the PrintLitoArt atelier in Salerno, of a lithographic edition of 30 numbered copies, embossed with the dry seal of the Masters in the Art of Printing. The edition will be developed in close collaboration with the artist and in full respect of the author’s intent, ensuring quality, coherence, and long-term recognizability.
PrintLitoArt operates as an independent production partner at the service of artistic creation, supporting artists and galleries through a rigorous, traceable, and certified editorial production process. Rooted in the territory of Salerno and the Amalfi Coast – an area boasting more than eight centuries of history in papermaking and fine art printing – PrintLitoArt translates this cultural continuity into a structured production method and a deep responsibility toward the artwork.
The lithographic edition will represent the tangible outcome of this collaboration: a certified, numbered work conceived for collectors, designed to expand the visibility and recognition of the artist’s practice.
PrintLitoArt collaborates with several local institutions active in the art sector, including the Filiberto and Bianca Menna Foundation, with which it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at the production of artists’ lithographs and the publication of a catalogue dedicated to the works created within the framework of this collaboration.
