From the collection of Eberhard W. Kornfeld
Austellung > 8 February 2009

In honour of the 85th birthday of Swiss art dealer Eberhard W. Kornfeld, some 200 works from his remarkable private art collection are on exhibit at the Albertina.

The auction house owner and art publisher is a distinguished expert on prints and the author of catalogues raisonnés on Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Marc Chagall, Käthe Kollwitz and numerous other artists.

Like the collection as a whole, the exhibition focuses on multifaceted selections of their works, as well as works by the collector’s close friends Pablo Picasso, Sam Francis and Alberto Giacometti.
