The Graphische Sammlung der ETH Zürich is showcasing 300 works from six centuries in the exhibition "Von Albrecht Dürer bis Andy Warhol. Highlights aus der Graphischen Sammlung der ETH Zürich" at the Museo d'arte della Svizzera italiana (Masi) Lugano. The exhibition is arranged chronologically and thematically, and features works by renowned artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Eugène Delacroix, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol. The exhibition begins with a wall of portraits and self-portraits, including a woodcut of Ferdinand Hodler by Emil Orlik, a chalk lithograph of Käthe Kollwitz, and a self-portrait by Rembrandt. It also includes works by Hans Conrad Escher von der Linth, Maria Sibylla Merian, and Christiane Baumgartner, which explore the intersection of art and science. The exhibition is designed to appeal to both experienced printmakers and those new to the field, with its fresh design and contextualizing text. It is also a great opportunity to explore the 500-year-old technique of woodcut in combination with modern reproduction techniques. The exhibition is a great way to experience the breadth of the Graphische Sammlung der ETH Zürich's collection and to appreciate the works of some of the world's most renowned artists.nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
