Albertina - Tietze Galleries for Prints and Drawings
With the Sturtevant exhibition, the Albertina inaugurates the new Tietze Galleries for Prints and Drawings, on a surface of 450 sqm. These rooms on the second floor are partly occupying the space of the former Kahn Galleries. The Albertina will dedicate this new space to exhibitions of drawings and graphic art, while the pillar hall will be reserved for photography exhibitions.

In 1919, the new republic’s war debt was about to be settled by selling the collection to Boston, the preliminary contract were already signed. The same thing happened under the Austrofascist regime in 1936,
