For this exhibition, we have opened the vaults to showcase the range and quality of the prints that the Getty Research Institute acquires.
The recent gifts and acquisitions presented in this exhibition include select
masterpieces in the history of printmaking, as well as lesser-known works
that are technically and thematically fascinating. The selection spans 400 years of printmaking, from the inspired meditations on narrative and
perspective by Albrecht Dürer, one of the foremost old-master printmakers, to the modernist experiments by avant-garde artists at the Bauhaus. More than 27,000 prints can be found in the collections of the
Getty Research Institute, providing a compelling overview of printmaking
techniques and processes.
