The “International Biennial Print Exhibit: ROC” has been held twice a year without a halt since its launch in 1983, and has become one of the oldest print biennials in the world.

compete at an international level and show their works, but has also fostered international exchange in this field.

Director of the National Museum of Fine Arts, Hsiao Tsung-huang, noted that “this biennial enables the people of Taiwan to appreciate remarkable prints made by global artists and to observe the world’s printmaking trends,” adding that “By looking at the nationality of the award winning artists, we can tell that their artworks were chosen not only fairly, but also openly and carefully. ”     [FULL  STORY]
