Dürer, Munch, Miró. The Great Masters of Printmaking

Albrecht Dürer, The Rhinoceros, 1515, woodcut, Albertina, Vienna.

In Winter 2023, the Albertina is presenting a retrospective of the history of printmaking over a period of six centuries, from Albrecht Dürer and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec to Kiki Smith and Damien Hirst. In two exhibitions, the gallery will show works from the late Middle Ages through to the prints of contemporary art. The two exhibitions are joined by a third dedicated solely to the most important printmaker of the 20th century: Picasso.

The first exhibition, Dürer. Munch. Miró - The Great Masters of Printmaking presents outstanding works of the so-called 'Old Masters' - including Albrecht Dürer, Pieter Bruegel, Rembrandt van Rijn - and leads up to the impressive works of modern and contemporary art.

The second part of the exhibition will be at the ALBERTINA MODERN from the end of February. It presents 20th century artist that radically broke with the tradition of printmaking and found a new monumentality in the technique of silkscreen printing in the 1960s.
