The idea of creating a digital resource of prints and drawings has in recent years become a reality on a global scale – for example the virtual print room of the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum in Braunschweig and the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel (www.virtuelles-kupferstichkabinett.de). A collaborative project of these two institutions, along with the University of Marburg - Bildarchiv Foto Marburg and the University of Göttingen, is currently linking the online publication of prints and drawings from the collections of Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel with iconographic indexing and academic research into the early modern collecting of prints.
The conference will take as its starting point two key questions. How can research into the history of art collecting and digital indexing work together to form a mutually beneficial partnership? How can indexing adapt to the demands of the research community?
Papers on the following subjects and case studies will be welcome:
• The theory and practice of collecting in the early modern period
• Case studies: religious and secular orders, private individuals, artists and universities as collectors of graphic arts
• Networks and trade structures: art agents, dealers, advisers
• The indexing and publicising of graphic collections: from the ‘Recueil’ to the online database
• How can indexing and online publication adapt to the demands of the research community?
• The functionality and organisational systems of graphic collections
• The research and documentation of provenances
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers devoted to the subjects mentioned above.
Proposals (maximum of 500 words) with the title of the paper, institutional affiliation (if applicable), postal and email address and a short CV can be sent up to 30 November 2015 to:
vkk@hab.de. The conference programme will be published in early 2016 on the conference website:

Physically demanding and technically challenging, printmaking has often been considered man’s labor. As the Library’s unusual collection by forward-thinking Henrietta Louisa Koenen (1830-1881) demonstrates, engravings, etchings, woodcuts and lithographs executed by female printmakers have been around almost as long as artists started creating prints in the late fifteenth century. From 1848 until 1861, she collected an astonishing array of sheets by women artists from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. Executed by experts and amateurs alike, these women pursued their craft as part of larger family workshops, as a means of self-realization and for the thrill of making and sharing pictures created in multiples.

Exhibited for the first time since 1901, the works from Henrietta Louisa Koenen’s collection include not only well-known artists like Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807) and Maria Cosway (1760-1838), but also rare and unusual prints by the Marquise de Pompadour (1721-1764), Charlotte Napoleon (1802-1839), and Queen Victoria (1819-1901).

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. This exhibition, featuring around 100 of the Norwegian artist’s most important works, will include icons of his art such as The Scream, Madonna, The Kiss, and Melancholy, as well as works exemplifying his experimental approaches to printed graphics.

For centuries artists have made multi-part series, undertaking subjects on a scale not possible in a single work. This engagement was especially prevalent in the 1960s, as artists dedicated to conceptual, minimalist, and pop approaches explored the potential of serial procedures and structures. Many prominent artists since then have produced serial projects at the renowned Los Angeles print workshop and publisher Gemini G.E.L. The exhibition will showcase 17 such series created at Gemini by 17 artists over the past five decades. It will include seminal early works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella as well as more recent serial projects by John Baldessari, Julie Mehretu, Richard Serra, and others.

PRISM's fifth exchange exhibition of fine printmaking from around the world, with work by artists from China, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland and the UK.
