This special publication appears on the occasion of the 70 anniversary of the artist group XYLON Switzerland.
44 active artists of XYLON have cut a self-portrait in wood. The woodcuts were printed from the original blocks on a traditional printing press.
Texts by Sebastian Utzni, Hans Rudolf Bosshard, Emil Burki and Dr. phil. Rainer Stöckli convey the history of XYLON Switzerland and the art of relief printing based on many examples. The publication was conceived by Josef Felix Müller.
