MAGMA Dye Transfer Editions is a project by artist Roman Schramm and Egbert Haneke. Selected artists will be invited on a regular basis to realize their work with the dye-transfer process. In their first presentation during the Gallery Weekend Berlin, MAGMA presents editions of the following artists:

Erwin Blumenfeld
Thea Djordjadze
Dan Graham
F.C. Gundlach
Jochen Lempert
Leonore Mau
Josephine Pryde
Timur Si-Qin
Gabi Steinhauser
Susanne Winterling

The first selection of MAGMA Dye Transfer editions includes artists of different generations and approaches. Roman Schramm and Egbert Haneke selected works that create a dialogue with each other. This includes among others an experimental picture from the Estate of Erwin Blumenfeld an ethnographic photograph of the now 96-year old Leonore Mau as well as a computer-generated image of tomatoes by Timur Si-Qin. Starting from this basis, the spectrum of MAGMA Dye Transfer Edition will regularly expand.

The dye-transfer process has a unique position within the photographic color processes. It stands for high print quality, long lasting permanence, brilliant colors and exceptionally rich and deep blacks. There are only a few labs worldwide that can realize this particular method using original materials from Kodak. MAGMA is working with the Dye Transfer International lab from Hamburg, which has, over the last few years,  established a dye-transfer process with exclusively produced new materials that have been adapted to today's production processes.

The images have a maximum sheet size of 50x60 cm and are each in a limited edition of 30 prints (+3 AP). Each work is offered in an exclusive box that can be purchased individually. Prints range in price from ? 900 to ? 3600.

MAGMA Dye Transfer Editions are distributed via the website www.magmaeditions.com.
