The
Difference...

do the most serious artists choose to present their work on Paperki handmade
papers? Is it just the prestige factor, or are there other reasons? "

is certainly a factor, but there are others. Let's look at them one by
one:

papers to present their work: The artists Lucio Muñoz, Eduardo Chillida
(his "Serie Gravitacional"), Rafael Alberti, Guinovart, Manolo Valdés,
Estéban Vicente… The editors Frank Bordás, Antonio Gallo (for Ediciones
Raña Lupa) Edouard Weiss (the Parisian editor who creates Chillida's
artist's books), the Atelier Adrien Maeght in Paris, the Editorial Testimonio,
Michel Nitabah for his "Livres Illustrés" and his "Livres d'Artistes,"
just to name a few.
The
return-on-investment factor: The
