Off to the Press! focuses on the visionary graphic universe of the world-famous Nuremberg master Albrecht Dürer, which he and his wife Agnes skillfully marketed. What makes Dürer a great storyteller and entrepreneur of his time, and what is his lasting influence into the nineteenth century?
To answer this question, the catalog draws on the collections of the Otto and Georg Schäfer Museums in Schweinfurt, which are closely connected by family ties. While the former holds a unique wealth of Dürer prints, which have been lavishly reproduced with the highest level of quality for this volume, the Georg Schäfer Collection provides the art-historical connection to more recent centuries. Examples from Otto Schäfer's historical book collection also complement the origins and reception of Dürer's prints.
