Spellbound: the hegewisch collection
The Hegewisch Collection stands as one of the greatest private collections of European prints and drawings today, remarkable for its range, focus and quality, spanning from around 1500 to 1960. Enriched by a few select works from West Africa, this ensemble evokes a blend of ominous beauty, sensuality, humour and the uncanny. Comprising exceptional works by Dürer, Rembrandt, Tiepolo, Goya, Redon, Munch, Kollwitz, Léger and Beckmann, and many others, the collection is as varied as it is intensely personal. Central to it is Picasso’s oeuvre, encompassing the wide emotional range of the collection: wonder, joy, charm, melancholy, angst and horror.
