The success of the first three German-Nigerian printmaking workshops at Nsukka assured that a fourth would take place. The 1990 workshop, directed by Arnulf and Christiane Spengler, focused on dry-point technique. Fifty-five art students and faculty, including several from beyond the Nsukka circle, participated in the workshop and exhibition held at Nsukka and in Lagos.
Participating artists included Chris Afuba, Uko Akpaide, Justus Akujobi, Chuka Amaefunah, Chike Aniakor, Obiora Anidi, Godson Diogu, Okay Ikenegbu, Barthosa Nkurumeh, Ray Obeta, Sylvester Ogbechie, Ndubisi Onah, Ben Onyemaobi, Okpan Oyeoku, among others.
Illustrated in this article are works by Chukwuemeka Okpara, Barthosa Nkurumeh, and Chijioke Onuora.
