The Fairest of Them All
The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, or Dresden State Art Collections, comprise the oldest, second-largest group of museums inGermany. The eleven museums united under this umbrella organization are among the most famous in the world, and they contain a wealth of unique art treasures that span a variety of themes and epochs, attracting visitors from around the globe. Augustus the Strong and his son, Augustus III-both electors of Saxony and kings of Poland during the eighteenth century-were extraordinary connoisseurs of the arts, and their enthusiastic patronage had a lasting impact on the development of the collections which today are exhibited in world-famous buildings, such as the Zwinger, the Rezidenz, and the Albertinum. The year 2010 marks the 450th anniversary of the Dresden State Art Collections, and visitors are invited to travel through time-from the days of antiquity to the present. This opulent volume features numerous illustrations of very special highlights from the individual collections and the historical buildings that house them. (German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-2458-6)

Dresden in the Ages of Splendor and Enlightenment
During the first half of the 18th century, Dresden became a mecca for artists, craftsmen, architects, and theatrical and musical performers. They came from Paris, Venice, Verona, Bologna, Brussels, and Copenhagen, and from nearby Aussig, Erfurt, and Weimar. Dresden in the Ages of splendor and Enlightenment celebrates and examines for the first time 18th-century painting both collected and produced in Dresden. The landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, and religious and allegorical paintings from the legendary Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister reflect the interplay between collecting and creating art in one of the great artistic centers of 18th-century Europe, one comparable in brilliance with other German-speaking power centers of the period such as Vienna, Munich, or Berlin.
Das neue Albertinum
Die Galerie Neue Meister und die Skulpturensammlung präsentieren in dem spektakulär umgebauten Museumsgebäude ihre Bestände in einer völligen Neuausrichtung: Mehrere hundert Werke der europäischen Kunstgeschichte der letzten 200 Jahre sind nun in an einem Ort vereint: Malerei von Caspar David Friedrich über Gerhard Richter bis hin zu jüngsten Entdeckungen; Skulpturen Ernst Rietschels und Auguste Rodins bis hin zu Arbeiten der zeitgenössischen Bildhauergeneration wie Thomas Scheibitz. Die Sonderausstellung 'Das Versprochene Land' mit über 50 Künstlern der Gegenwart - darunter jene, die nach der Elbflut 2002 durch eine einzigartige Spendenaktion den Startschuss gegeben haben, das Haus als neues Museum der Moderne auf den Weg zu bringen - bildet den fulminanten Auftakt zur Eröffnung dieses geschichts- und zukunftsträchtigen Leuchtturms in der deutschen Kulturlandschaft.
