France Flocks to New Editions Range

Last month Innova Art exhibited at two mainstays of the French photographic calendar: Salon de la Photo and Montier Photo Festival. Salon de la Photo 2016 saw 150 brands showing the latest in cameras, printers and digital imaging. Events included practical workshops, classes and debates as well as exhibitions by world renowned photographers. On the Innova Art stand an exhibition of work by Milton H. Greene showed iconic images from his Marilyn Monroe archive, including some previously unpublished, which really caught the attention of attendees. This was the perfect platform for the company who launched the new Innova Editions paper range to the French market at the show. Reports from Salon de la Photo indicate that there were over 85,000 visitors to the five day show and the Innova Art team certainly shared the experience. “The show was busy every day, visitors were queuing to get in all day,” reports James Cannone, Sales Account Manager for Innova Art. Visitors to the stand were particularly drawn to Fabriano Printmaking Rag 310gsm for its natural white, slightly textured surface and the Exhibition Photo Baryta 310gsm for its smooth gloss surface ideal for black and white prints. Alongside papers in the Editions range the Innova team also demonstrated the range of image display products available: JetMaster, GOframe and Pinchbook Photo Books. Visitors were particularly impressed by the flexibility of GOframe canvas stretching systems and the ability to create quick and easy canvases at almost any size. Later in the same week that Salon de la Photo finished, Montier Photo Festival opened in the Village of Montier-en-Der. Dedicated to wildlife and nature photography this primarily outdoor festival attracts a number of professional and amateur photographers every year. Alongside a [...]

Jim McHugh: AFTERMATH | Innovation News: Looking Back at 2016

Back in April Month of Photography Los Angeles was in full swing. As part of that The Robert Graham Studio played host to AFTERMATH, a group exhibition including photographs by Jim McHugh. When it came time for Jim McHugh to remove the installation from The Robert Graham Studios, Wayne Connelly (USA Director, Innova Art) paid a visit to catch up with Jim, hear more about the project and see what Jim’s plans are for the future. AFTERMATH was a commemoration of Robert Graham’s project MOCA Torso and featured photography, painting and sculpture. In the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, many in the city felt the need to do something. The MOCA Torso project was created by Robert Graham in response to this, reaching out to the endangered youth of Los Angeles and teaching them how to make art: encouraging them to redirect their energy into something creative and productive. Under his guidance the artists were trained in the art of bronze sculpture, created a series of small bronze works and all the proceeds from sales went to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. The resulting body of work remains one of the most iconic works by Robert Graham and became a symbol of possibility for many. Juan Carlos Munoz aka “Heaven” was one of the artists included in the MOCA Torso project and Jim McHugh photographed the project throughout 1992 for various publications. Since then Juan Carlos Munoz has gone on to build his own internationally recognised art career as a painter and sculptor, he was also one of the graffiti artists featured in Jim McHugh’s most recent project. AFTERMATH commemorated the meeting of these artists who first crossed paths in [...]

Successful debut for Editions range at Photo Plus Expo 2016

From October 20th to 22nd at Photo Plus Expo 2016, Javits Convention Centre in New York City, the Innova team presented the new Editions range to the US market. Featuring eye-catching vintage Marilyn Monroe photos by Milton H.

New customers and long-time users of the Innova brand reacted positively to the new Editions range and packaging: “Exhibition Cotton Gloss has become my go to paper for my gallery shows,” Keith Johnson, Fine Art Photographer “Well, I have to tell you that, using Fabriano Printmaking and Watercolour Rag, we have produced some of the finest prints we have ever made. We found the color rendering most impressive, detail is breathtaking, and we love the textured surface. Going forward, these are the papers we will use for all our fine art prints.” Falcon, Managing Director of NyghtFalcon Photography. In addition to their own stand Innova Art was also featured on the Canon Power of Print Pavilion, operating each day of the show.

Innova Editions range to launch in USA at Photo Plus Expo, New York, October 20-22nd 2016

The new Editions range from Innova Art sets the standard for artistic and fiber based photo papers at Photo Plus Expo 2016; featuring heavyweight, OBA free, natural white finish cotton papers. Launched at Photokina 2016, the  Editions range will debut in the USA at Photo Plus Expo 2016. Including two classic European mould made papers developed in cooperation with Fabriano, the birth place of European papermaking, deliver the latest innovative coating technology developed by the chemists at Innova Art. Fabriano Printmaking Rag 310gsm, with its natural white tones and soft grain texture, is crafted to mimic the oldest and most renowned papers in Europe used for centuries by the masters. Fabriano Artistico Watercolour Rag 310gsm is a traditional cold press mould made paper with an enhanced surface enabling printers to achieve output worthy to sit with history’s great works of art. Photo Cotton Rag 315gsm is the smoothest fine art paper made by Innova Art. Etching Cotton Rag 315gsm embodies the excellence of modern machine made etching papers. Both feature the latest ink receptive layer technology. Exhibition Cotton Gloss 335gsm and Exhibtion Photo Baryta 310gsm, feature qualities unique to Innova Art’s FibaPrint® portfolio: designed to match chemical darkroom papers of the past. With natural shades and a rich, pleasing hand, prints made on these substantial papers will take center stage in your portfolio. “With the launch of Editions including the two new mould-made papers, we have filled in the last remaining corner to our fine art paper portfolio. No matter what fine art finish, fiber, weight, or technology required, Innova has the solution” says Wayne Connelly, President Innova Art USA. “This is just one more example of how our continuous innovation keeps Innova Art a [...]
