Alter! Grafik aus fünf Jahrhunderten

Haus der Graphischen Sammlung

26. April – 17. August 2025

Wise, kind and experienced or frail, stubborn and unattractive - there are very different images of old people, also in art. How do such contradictory associations come about? Who or what is considered old and why? Age(ing) is relative. Cultural background, gender and social status all play a role. The exhibition shows prints from the early modern period to the 20th century, including Albrecht Dürer, Hans Baldung Grien, Käthe Kollwitz and Pablo Picasso.
