What a Treasure!,
This review is from: Albertina: The History of the Collection and Its Masterpieces (Hardcover)
This book is a hidden treasure. I was not familiar with the Albertina or its collections before a friend of mine gave me this book, and the exploration of this gorgeous collection has been a treat. The prints selected for the book are of unrivalled quality, ranging from Durer to Picasso, this one volume covers the temporal and stylistic range of drawing and prints more intelligently than I've seen before. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes drawings and prints, or even anyone who likes art at all as a testament to the skill, ingenuity and imagination of mankind.

Albertina : The History of the Collection and Its Masterpiec,
By E. Carey (Houston,Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Albertina: The History of the Collection and Its Masterpieces (Hardcover)
The book is well footnoted. The historical content is quickly to the point and foundationally points the reader to the essence of the museum, collecting master pieces. I visited the museum at the beckoning of a friend in 1969 and fell in love with the plates of Durer. They are presented to the visitor in a leather bound book and are place,at your request, on a table for your review. Some are these plates are exquisitely displayed in the book. It makes me want to return to enjoy Albertina once more.
