Meisterzeichnungen: 100 Jahre Grafische Sammlung im Kunsthaus Zürich

In 2015 the Collection of Prints and Drawings of the Kunsthaus Zürich turned one hundred, and marked the anniversary with a selection of 100 master drawings from six centuries. This catalog records that celebration and opens a rare window onto a collection of some 100,000 works on paper, among them about 37,000 drawings from the fifteenth century to the present.

The selection, 84 artists in all, ranges from Raphael and Albrecht Dürer through Johann Heinrich Füssli, J. M. W. Turner and Ferdinand Hodler to Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti.

The texts are by Bernhard von Waldkirch, Christina Grummt, Gian Casper Bott and other contributors, and the volume closes with artist biographies and an extensive bibliography.

A fine reference for collectors and students of drawing, and a natural companion to Kunsthaus Zürich: Die Meisterwerke.
