Marga Eschenbach (1885 - 1975)

Courtesy

Not actually part of this collection but “on loan” for display. Occasionally a printmaker, or a perticular print is too good to be missed in a representation. Marga Eschenbach is an otherwise obscured artist of Lithuanian origin with a very interesting biography. She worked and lived in Munich and was also known as museum restorator and original toy maker. Her ducks are a thoroughly Munich (Neumann) school of printmaking example: the use of “das zarte Grau” or delicate grey, by which it became famous.

Dear print lover, passing-by visitor and reader:

While this new gallery-museum site is under construction (being build-up, stocked and arranged) priority must be given to first add all the represented artists in the index with works from the collection and if possible with the examples from the archives.

During construction the site is open to visitors, questions, feedback and suggestions.
