Whether a drawing is unequivocally attributed to an artist depends on a number of different givens. If the artwork is signed, there is a high probability of scoring a hit. But how do attributions actually work in the case of drawings that are not signed?
The exhibition shows plaster casts, copies of paintings, graphics and architectural models from the 19th century that admit different perspectives on this question: To what extent were or are practices of copying and replication a way of producing new things?

EMIL NOLDE – A CRITICAL APPROACH BY MISCHA KUBALL
In his installations, conceptual artist Mischa Kuball (b. 1959) shatters rigid interpretive models and lays bare the many-layered overlapping structures of the production and perception of art.
