history

The origins of the collection go back to the copper engraving and drawing cabinet founded in 1758 by Elector Carl Theodor von der Pfalz in Mannheim Palace . In 1794 it was brought to safety from the advancing French army and transferred to Munich. During the secularization of 1803 the inventory could be increased considerably. From 1808, the later inspector of the cabinet, Franz Brulliot, began cataloging it. In 1839, parts of the collection were opened to the public for the first time as a copper engraving cabinet in the Alte Pinakothek . In 1874 the cabinet was given the status of an independent museum and was renamed the Royal Graphic Collection in 1905 . In 1917 the company moved to the Neue Pinakothek , where the collection was housed until 1944. After the destruction of this building in the Second World War and the losses suffered as a result, it was temporarily housed in 1949 as the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München in the Munich House of Cultural Institutes at Meiserstraße 10 (later Katharina-von-Bora-Straße 10), where it is still located today. The planned move to a new building was postponed for an indefinite period in 2005. In 2002 the graphic collection was given its own exhibition space in the newly built Pinakothek der Moderne . In 2008 the facility celebrated its 250th birthday with an extensive special exhibition. Since 2016, small studio presentations from the inventory have been shown in the showcase corridor of the Pinakothek der Moderne under the format name “IM BLICK”.

Departments

The graphic collection is divided into five main sections:

  • Conservator for German Art (15th - 18th Century)
  • Conservator of Dutch Art (15th - 18th centuries)
  • Conservator of Italian and French Art (15th-18th centuries)
  • Conservator of 19th Century Art
  • Conservator for art of the 20th / 21st centuries century

In order to ensure the possibility of public presentations and the maintenance of the works of art, the facility has its own workshops:

The holdings of the collection, which are otherwise only shown in temporary exhibitions due to the sensitivity of the works of art to light, can be viewed in a study room. Individual works are reproduced for those interested. There is also the option of having privately owned graphics examined in terms of their artistic significance.

The exhibitions of the graphic collection take place (unless otherwise stated) in the Pinakothek der Moderne .
