Vermeer GeoGraff – Edition 50x40 cm + 8 cm black margins, by the international artist BLACH (r = alt + 0174). Limited edition of 30 copies.
Vermeer GeoGraff is a refreshingly contemporary take on Vermeer's famous painting The Geographer. With a blend of respect for the original and a healthy dose of humor, BLACH revisits this 1659 work with a modern and bold twist. This once somber and serious painting is transformed into an explosion of color and surprises. By merging modern techniques with historical references, this 2024 version could well become as iconic as Vermeer's original... or so we all hope!
