Drawing is one of the most elementary forms of artistic expression. With its enormous potential for self-reflection, it continues to surprise us today with ever-new developments. Particularly in modern and contemporary art, alongside traditional approaches, there are countless exploratory interrogations of the medium, crossovers, as well as interactions and interrelationships with other categories, whether by systematically questioning the underlying criteria or by incorporating new techniques and materials. The exhibition and publication highlight the most significant developments since early Modernism.
