The Albertina is to present Edvard Munch as a pioneer of printmaking. This exhibition, featuring around 120 of the Norwegian artist’s most important works, will include icons of his art such as the Scream, the Madonna, and the Kiss, as well as works exemplifying his experimental approaches to printed graphics.

Edvard Munch was one of the foremost protagonists of modernism, and his paintings and graphic works number among the absolute highlights of turn-of-the-century art. The artist’s life and work, full of existential crises and breaks yet guided by the utmost consistency, illustrate his intense preoccupation with loneliness, love, and death.
