Welcome to The Strange World of Albrecht Dürer, the Clark’s winter exhibition running November 14, 2010, through March 13, 2011.

Considered by many to be the greatest German artist of all time, Albrecht Dürer was celebrated during his lifetime as a painter, printmaker, and writer. His innovative techniques revolutionized printmaking, and his theoretical writings transformed the study of human proportion. Deeply embedded in a tumultuous era of religious reformation and scientific inquiry, Dürer used his art to reflect the spiritual and social preoccupations of his time.

“Visitors will find monsters, knights, and angels in The Strange World of Albrecht Dürer exhibition, which focuses on Dürer’s fantastic imagination and timeless imagery,” said Michael Conforti, director of the Clark. “The Clark’s collection of works by this Renaissance master is extraordinary, and we are pleased to be presenting seventy-five powerful prints, all from our collection, in the first comprehensive display of these works in more than thirty-five years.”

We hope you are as excited as we are about The Strange World of Albrecht Dürer! Keep checking back for behind-the-scenes posts, photos, videos,  interviews—and more as the opening night approaches. And please share your questions and comments with us below.

This exhibition is proudly presented by Crane & Co.
