Perhaps the most significant collection of graphic art in the world, the Albertina in Vienna is famous for the unsurpassed quality of its pieces. It comprises around 65,000 drawings, a million prints, and countless other works on paper, ranging from the Late Gothic period to the present day.
Durer, Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens, and Michelangelo, Goya, van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso, Pollock and Christo are among the 68 artists selected for inclusion in this sumptuously illustrated volume. An exploration of the two-hundred-year history of the museum from its founding by the collector Duke Albert to the acquisitions of recent directors, this exquisite book also includes the fruit of previously unpublished recent research.
