Dürer Lectures 2024
The annual Dürer Lectures have become an internationally acclaimed event since 2002. They are jointly organized by the Cultural Unit of the City of Nuremberg, the Nuremberg Municipal Museums and the Albrecht Dürer House Foundation e.V. The series aims to present and discuss new research findings and is dedicated to changing focal points. Not least the Dürer Lectures are intended as a forum for young academics.
Topic 2024: From Dürer's workshop into the world. The winding paths of his works
Dürer's art was given away, sold, inherited and stolen, and some works were lost or destroyed. The surviving works have a centuries-long story and often changed places and owners several times. Today, Dürer's artistic legacy is scattered all over the world. The fate of the works of art is often as exciting as a thriller, sometimes tragic, and in any case highly revealing.
Therefore this year's Dürer lectures are dedicated to object biographies and collection histories. The aim is to trace the paths of Dürer's works, follow the trail of lost works and research provenances.
