Graphic Collection

Since 1897, the Collection of Prints and Drawings at the Institute of Art History has served as a teaching and art collection. It was founded by Konrad Lange (1855–1921), the first professor of art history in Tübingen, to provide a practice-oriented education for students. At the same time, it is also open to the art-interested public. Visitors can – by appointment – have originals presented to them in the study hall.
During the semester, small thematic exhibitions can also be seen there. The collection includes art on paper from around 1500 to the present day as well as important private donations. The main focus is on the Max Kade Collection (New York), the Rieth Collection with self-portraits of artists, the Heide and Wolfgang Voelter Collection (Tübingen), the endowment of prints and a large collection of drawings by the “Sprayer of Zurich”, Harald Naegeli, as well as endowments of the Tübingen Art History Society TKG e.V. on contemporary art.
