"I have my own perspective on every art book, but I also greatly appreciate guidance from individuals with professional expertise."

Samuel Vanhoegaerden – Gallery owner

From Warhol, Bacon and Lichtenstein to Panamarenko, Dotremont and Ensor. Anyone who enjoys modern art should visit Samuel Vanhoegaerden in Knokke. His gallery regularly hosts exhibitions by some of the world’s greatest artists. These exhibitions are often accompanied by equally impressive art books. And we are often asked to print them!

Art books: craftsmanship that brings art to life

An art book is much more than a collection of images. It is a life’s work, in which every page, every detail and every binding method come together to create an experience for the reader. At Buroform, we understand how important it is to convey the soul of a collection or an artist’s vision in print. That is why we use all our expertise – from innovative printing techniques to exclusive finishes – to give your art book the look it needs.

Precision and intensity

Our LE-UV technology ensures impressive colour reproduction and deep contrast. This means that paintings, photographs or sculptures appear razor sharp on paper, with an intensity that does justice to the original works. What’s more, the print is dry immediately, enabling fast turnaround times and additional finishing options.
