When I asked the Chief Curator of our Graphic Art Collection-Christof Metzger is perhaps the most highly recognized authority on sixteenth-century German art on the international scene-whether he thought it possible to stage another large-scale exhibition on Durer at the Albertina without the new one turning into a mere reprise, he spontaneously replied: "Not only is it possible, it absolutely must be done!" In recent years, worldwide research projects, in the majority of which the Albertina was involved, have resulted in a new way of looking at Durer that distances itself from a purely biographical approach and also explores the circumstances and motivations of his art production.This exhibition is the result of broad international cooperation and the readiness of many colleagues to support this huge Durer project. Lenders from around the globe have entrusted most precious works to us for the duration of this show-works offering a comprehensive picture of Durer as master not only of pencil and pen but also of the brush. I cannot thank them enough for their generosity and confidence. Great things have also been achieved here at the Albertina in our Exhibition Management, Conservation Department, and Period Framing Department. I am extremely grateful to Department Heads Barbara Buchbauer, Kristina Liedtke, and Carmen Lenoir, as well as their teams. That such a thoroughly accomplished exhibition catalogue has grown from thoughts and words is to be credited to the time- tested expertise of Sandra Maria Rust, graphic designer Klaus E. Goltz, and the Prestel publishing house. Andrew John Martin (Munich) and Erwin Pokorny (Vienna) have contributed shorter, albeit highly relevant catalogue entries. Christof Metzger has received invaluable support from Julia Zaunbauer as his assistant curator and coauthor, for which I also thank her most warmly on his behalf. Each comprehensive Durer exhibition is an extraordinary and rare event in the museum world. To have witnessed at the Albertina the realization of the two largest exhibitions devoted to Albrecht Durer in more than fifty years is probably the greatest privilege I could have had at this wonderful museum." excerpt foreword Prof. Dr. Klaus Albrecht Schroder, Director General, The Albertina Museum.…
