Item is an art gallery whose catalogue is made of about 30 modern artists. A relationship based upon fidelity has grown along the years between these artists and the gallery.
The catalogue shows a undeniable artistic consistency, especially through pieces made following the devices of reproduction that can be used thanks to the technique of lithography and phototypy.In addition, the gallery is also an art publisher, in close partnership with the Item society, a lithographic trade printing company.
Furthermore, Item is also a workshop, located in the 13th district in Paris (rue Nicolas Roret), specialized in the production of art pieces following the devices of phototypy.
This atelier is run by Michel Bertrand, a former apprentice to René Werner, master of art.
