Kupferstichkabinett | "Das alles bin ich!" Christoph Müller’s Gift, Part 4: Leaf by Leaf – A Life with Art | 10.3. – 14.6.2026

10.03.2026

The exhibition “Das alles bin ich“ (“I Am All That!“) presents the generous gift of some 200 works that art collector Christoph Müller has made to the Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings). The works on paper – drawings, prints and watercolours – not only show a broad panorama of visual themes spanning five centuries, but also reflect the influences on the collector and his interests. One aspect of the collection at a time will be featured in four successive presentations. The presentation beginning on 10 March 2026 focusses on the diversity of artistic engagement with nature.

In four changing displays, each highlighting a different facet of the collection, the donation is explored from various perspectives. Presentation IV focuses on the theme of the individual sheet and the artist’s life’s work.
