GRAPHIC ARTS CABINETS
Title: Prints with a
Pedigree. Treasures from Old Print
Collections
Author/editor: Blanka Kubíková
Language: Czech-English
Number of pages and reproductions: 52 pages, 42 reproductions
ISBN: ISBN 978-80-7035-801-6
Description: The beginnings of print collections emerged during the Renaissance period, with erudite rulers, noblemen, and scholars being among the first collectors. The collections were often kept in libraries, pasted into albums or left as individual sheets. Prints were also purchased in large numbers by artists, serving them in their workshops as models and sources of inspiration. The online catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition in the Graphic Arts Cabinet shows how lovers of black-and-white art obtained prints and cared for them. It includes reproductions of rare collectors’ albums from the early modern times and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that have never before been shown to the public and, in general, are exhibited only exceptionally; as well asprints with pedigrees that come from prestigious Czech and foreign collections. This is attested to by collectors’ marks and stamps on the reverse of prints, which is why, quite out of the usual practice, equal attention is devoted to the front and the back sides of the showcased sheets.
