In 1958, after marrying Swiss photographer Felicitas Vogler, Ben Nicholson moved to Ticino, Switzerland. A chance meeting with François Lafranca, an artist in his own right, at an artist’s material suppliers, began a partnership between them. Between the years 1965-68, Lafranca printed a series of etchings for Nicholson, all made in an edition size of 50 copies and many were published by Ganymed & Marlborough.
‘The trial proofs which Lafranca pulled usually showed four or five different paper-dampenings and inkings, from which the artist would choose two or more variants for printing up within a single edition’ (exert from ‘Etchings from the Estate of Ben Nicholson’ published by Waddington Graphics)
