And so on to infinity

Exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle | November 7, 2025 – February 8, 2026

_______________________________________________________________

To mark the 100th anniversary of the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg e.V., the Hamburger Kunsthalle is showing an extensive selection of lithographs, screen prints, etchings, woodcuts, photographs, and C-prints from the past 100 years, as well as some archival documents in the Hubertus Wald Forum.

Since 1925, the association has been publishing editions of original graphic art and making these print series by selected artists available to its members. The series are not primarily selected on the basis of their formal or thematic coherence, but are intended to convey as representative an impression as possible of the respective artist's work using examples from their graphic oeuvre. Characteristic of the Griffelkunst Association is the juxtaposition of works by established national and international artists and lesser-known, often young artists of different nationalities and generations, as well as its collaboration with printmakers.

This extraordinary graphic arts association has 4,500 members throughout Germany. The Hamburger Kunsthalle has been a member since the association was founded and has presented many of the series in various exhibitions over the years.
