Published on occasion of the show titled, Van Eyck to Mondrian: 300 Years of Collecting in Dresden. Publisher's description: In 2020, the Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett celebrates its 300th anniversary. Founded in 1720 by Augustus the Strong as a museum specializing in works on paper, the collection -- now with over half a million works, from the Middle Ages to the present day -- has always acquired contemporary art alongside recognised masterpieces. The collection - which includes exceptional works by Jan van Eyck, Durer, Verrocchio, Grunewald, Cranach, Holbein, Rembrandt, Caspar David Friedrich, Ludwig Richter, Toulouse Lautrec, Mondrian, Hermann Glockner, Gerhard Altenbourg, A.R. Penck, Georg Baselitz and Evelyn Richter - began in the 18th century with drawings, miniatures and prints, before photography was added in 1898 as the promising future means of reproduction.
