DRESDEN.- From 20th June until 25th August 2008 the Kupferstich-Kabinett (Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs) of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden will be holding an exhibition featuring a selection of around 120 prints by Georg Baselitz from the private collection of Duke Franz of Bavaria. The works on show, all of which were created in the two decades between 1963 and 1983, include single impressions, series and rare trial proofs, none of which has previously been on public display. The exhibition has come about as part of a cooperation agreement with the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung Munich and is being presented to mark Georg Baselitz’s 70th birthday, which he will be celebrating on 23rd January this year. In the autumn of 2008 the exhibition will also go on show at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
