Joy and honor: Since this fall, the printing plates for the “Hedinsey” portfolio of prints have been part of the collection of the Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
The Kupferstichkabinett is the museum for drawing and printmaking, book illumination and artistic book illustration in Berlin. Here you will find excellent collections of Italian, old German and Dutch drawings (Sandro Botticelli, Albrecht Dürer, Hieronymus Bosch, Francisco de Goya and others) as well as 19th century German drawings (Caspar David Friedrich, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Adolph Menzel and others). Other focal points include classical modernism (such as Edvard Munch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Pablo Picasso), international post-war art (Alberto Giacometti) and pop art (including Richard Hamilton and Andy Warhol).
Internationally significant artists working in Berlin are an important focus of the contemporary art collection.
