About the Dietz Offizin
Günter Dietz GmbH, Offizin in Soyen (Upper Bavaria) produces high-quality fine art print replicas after motifs by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Franz Marc, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Paul Klee, Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Leonardo da Vinci. The core process is the DIETZ-Giclée on canvas or Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin, which is subsequently finished by screen printing. Further production methods are fine art printing on paper with a final varnish as well as printing on wood followed by hand gilding in 22 karat genuine gold or genuine silver. The process technology (lithography, pochoir/stencil printing, screen printing) goes back to company founder Günter Dietz, who established it in Bremen in the late 1950s and continued it from 1966 at the Bachmühle in Soyen. The Offizin sells its fine art prints via its own online shop to end customers in the art and collector segment.
