Not the catchiest title perhaps, but Kupferstichkabinett is certainly a memorable show. Referring to the collections of the German aristocracy which in turn lead to the more accessible print and drawing rooms in museums, this show draws on the past to prove that drawing is very much alive and kicking in contemporary art.
