- Dates: February 28 to May 25, 2025
- Curators: Kinga Bódi, Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, and Marta Blàvia, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
- Around 150 works shed light on the centuries-old traditions of drawing and printmaking, revealing their constant openness to innovation, technical diversity, essential features, and distinctive aesthetic effects.
- As the oldest form of artistic expression, drawing stands as a bridge that connects ideas and emotions with visual representation. Its dynamic nature and ability to adapt to demands of all ages demonstrates its prominence and relevance.
- Printmaking radically transformed the production and dissemination of images, democratizing access to art and acting as a catalyst for influential periods such as the Renaissance and the Reformation.
- The exhibition is a collaboration between the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Museum of Fine Arts – Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest, an esteemed institution that showcases treasures of international art spanning from antiquity to the 21st century, and Hungarian art from the middle ages until today.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Masterpieces on Paper from Budapest, a comprehensive overview of drawings and prints produced over 700 years, from the 15th century to the present, including works by such great artists as Albrecht Dürer, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rembrandt, Francisco de Goya, Miklós Barabás, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Egon Schiele, Victor Vasarely, Vera Molnar, Judit Reigl, Dóra Maurer, Georg Baselitz, Katharina Grosse, or Gerhard Richter.
