Wilhelm Lehmbruck as a printmaker. Works from private collections
25.10.2025 - 25.01.2026 ,
Museum Moderner Kunst Wörlen Passau (Museum of Modern Art Wörlen Passau)
With around 200 sheets - mostly drypoint etchings and some lithographs - Wilhelm Lehmbruck's (1881-1919) graphic oeuvre is clearly outlined and has been published in a catalogue raisonné since 1964. This makes it all the more surprising that art-historical interest in Lehmbruck's prints has hardly grown to date - even though the artist himself once expressed a keen interest in exhibitions of his prints.
With over 100 prints from the Zerres Collection in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Passau exhibition now offers an opportunity to take a fresh and intensive look at this subject. Why did the famous sculptor also produce prints? What themes interested him? What artistic development can be recognised in Lehmbruck's prints? And how do they fit into his oeuvre as a whole? The exhibition is complemented by selected small sculptures by Lehmbruck from private collections in southern Germany and from the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.
