Overview: 88 drawings and 28 prints were on view from the Albertina Museum in Vienna, the first exhibition of its kind to come to the United States. Otto Benesch, director of the Albertina, made the selection. The graphics dated from the 15th to the beginning of the 20th century and included one drawing by the Empress Maria Theresa. The loan exhibition, sponsored by the Austrian government, was circulated by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service to 9 other museums for a period of one year.
