Art Gallery of Ontario
Toronto, ON, CA Canada

From Michelangelo to Picasso: Great Master Drawings from the Collection of the Albertina, Vienna is a spectacular exhibition of 45 stellar drawings from the Albertina museum in Vienna. The exhibition features works by some of the greatest artists in the history of art - Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Durer, Poussin, Rubens, Rembrandt, Tiepolo, Klimt, Schiele, Klee, Kandinsky, Cezanne and Van Gogh.

The selection of drawings in this exhibition demonstrates the breadth and strength of the Albertina’s holdings. The exhibition will provide a comprehensive overview of 550 years of European master drawings (1420-1988) from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Flanders, Austria and France. Highlights include Leonardo’s Figure of an Apostle, Michelangelo’s Studies for Two Arms and Seated Male Nude, Durer’s Head of an Old Man, Rembrandt’s Farm Houses under a Stormy Sky, and Picasso’s Head of a Woman.

The Albertina has one of the greatest collections of drawings in Europe. It seldom, if ever, sends groups of drawings from its collection abroad. The Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto and the Frick Gallery in New York are the sole venues for this exhibition, and as such offer North Americans a rare opportunity to see some of the treasures from this collection. Tickets: $8.50

Special rates available for groups of 20 or more. Please call (416) 979-6660 x461 or 1-888-225-4246 x461.
