Exhibition Window to the World presents all 298 artists that have been awarded for the 50 years of existence of the event. It presents works of the Grand Prix winners since the first edition in 1966 when Hannes Postma from The Netherlands was awarded till the 2015 when the winner was Deborah Cornell from United States, whose work is the first multimedia project ever awarded.
The Jubilee exhibition is designed in order to underline dynamics and universal language of printmaking and graphic arts, thanks to which artists from the most distanced parts of the world are able to communicate with each other as well as with the viewers. It is of a special importance in the face of social and political changes that have affected this part of Europe. Repeatedly, those changes affected subsequent editions of the event as well as works of individual artists.
