German Nineteenth-Century Drawings from the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford: C.G. Boerner, Dusseldorf, 25th February-30th March, 1983 Exhibition and Catalogue
78 pp. "This is the largest exhibition of 19th-century German drawings and watercolours ever to be held in this country outside London and the first major exhibition of its kind since 1968, when 150 drawings from the Kunstmuseum in Dusseldorf and the Kunsthalle in Hamburg were shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In Great Britain the Ashmolean Museum's collection of German 19th-century drawings is unique, both numerically and in terms of quality. However, although a number of the more important drawings have been exhibited from time to time, it was not until 1977, in the exhibition A Selection of Drawings by the Nazarenes and their Associates, that an opportunity arose to display a large group of them together. The Majority of the works chosen on that occasion were executed before 1830. The present exhibition aims to convey a more general idea of the full range of the Ashmolean's holdings throughout the century."
