Exhibitions abroad: “Durer and Beyond. Central European Drawings” Exposition in New York

3 April 2012

“Durer and Beyond. Central European Drawings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1400-1700” Exhibition is running in New York April 3 – September 3, 2012.

This exhibition will be the first to offer an extensive overview of the Museum's holdings of early Central European drawings, many of which were acquired in the last two decades.

An emphasis on works by later sixteenth- and seventeenth-century artists will be balanced by a selection of German drawings from the fifteenth and earlier sixteenth century, of which some of the most exceptional ones — including works by Albrecht Dürer—entered the Museum with The Robert Lehman Collection in 1975.
