Lubok Verlag developed as publishing project following the encounter of artist Christoph Ruckhäberle with graphic designer and printer Thomas Siemon. Out of the shared fascination with artist books and the enthusiasm about graphic art arose the idea to publish graphic books with original linocuts by contemporary artists in high editions. Lubok books are part of numerous libraries and graphic collections, including the National Library of Germany, the New York Public Library, the Bibliothèque Kandinsky of Musée National d’Art Moderne/ Centre Pompidou, the Centre d’Illustration Tomi Ungerer Strasbourg, the library of Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg as well as the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Städtisches Kunstmuseum Spendhaus Reutlingen, the Stiftung Museum Kunst Palast Düsseldorf, and many others.
