Dürer to de Kooning:
100 Master Drawings from Munich
October 12, 2012–January 6, 2013
The Morgan will devote two galleries to this extraordinary exhibition of rarely-seen master drawings from the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich, one of Europe’s most distinguished drawings collections. Dürer to de Kooning marks the
first time the Graphische Sammlung has lent such a comprehensive and prestigious selection of works to a single exhibition.
Spanning the sixteenth through twentieth centuries, works on view include drawings by such celebrated old masters as Michelangelo, Pontormo, Raphael, Titian, Dürer, Matthias Grünewald, Holbein, Rubens, and Rembrandt; nineteenth-century sheets by artists including van Gogh, Caspar David Friedrich, and Adolph Menzel; and modern and contemporary works by Beckmann, Picasso, Hockney, Baselitz, and Polke, among many others. The Morgan is the sole venue for this important
exhibition.
