IN MEMORIAM


**

Our hearts were broken by the news of the passing of Ger Luijten. He was a true ambassador of the graphic arts and a wonderful scholar, curator and director, who built a fantastic legacy. We wish all those who were close to him strength.

Please find Fondation Custodia's In memoriam here.
