During 1977 Kipke created about 30 prints in intaglio, drypoint, and lithograph, divided, in accordance with the demand of the author, in eight cycles related to the production. Their titles are: Atching, Black, Red Black and Green, Drypoint, Metal and Paper, Printing for the Sake of Printing, Breaking of a Metal Plate, and Overptints.
Today these works – more than three and a half decades since their creation and never exhibited as a whole – emerge not only as chapter of a relatively remote artistic history, but also as very fresh and, we could say, lasting characteristics od products of the graphic design culture.
It is a very hard and demanding creative challenge to indulge into internal and immanent problems of media and the (metal)language of any art including the graphic. Only rare authors, capable of expanded thinking and technical fulfillment of their own art intentions and task, can indulge into this very demanding and creative challenge.
