Almost half of the 275 graphic works that K\u00e4the Kollwitz created are lithographs. Particularly in the second half of her life, she used this technique to achieve a broad impact with large print runs, posters and flyers.<\/p>\n

The Berlin master printer in stone and offset printing Dietmar Liebsch discovered the printing press from 1866 and two lithography stones by K\u00e4the Kollwitz: “Bread”<\/em> from 1924 and “Mother with Boy”<\/em> from 1933, in the 1970s in the basement of the Berlin flat printing company Arnoldi. He was later able to acquire the printing press together with the two lithographic blocks, restore them and make them printable again.<\/p>\n

The historical lithographic press, which the Friends of the K\u00e4the Kollwitz Museum Berlin acquired in 2016, is one of the special items in the collection alongside the many prints, drawings and sculptures by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. The press remains hidden from most museum visitors as it is located in the events and education room and can only be viewed as part of events and workshops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
