FROM ADHESIVE BINDING TO THE ART BOOK
8 March - 28 Mai, 2012

The cabinet exhibition focuses on two special types of collecting and presenting graphics: the volumes with adhesive bindings that collectors used from the 16th to the 18th centuries to group sketches and engravings by various artists, and the art books that have been an important means of artistic expression and a field for experimentation since the closing days of the 19th century.
