The Freunde des Kupferstich-Kabinetts e.V.
(Society of Friends of the Kupferstich-
Kabinett) usually holds one event each
month. Particularly worthy of mention is
the series of events entitled “Members
Choose”, in which one member devotes
attention to a particular group of works
from among the holdings of the Kupferstich-Kabinett.
In addition, there is an annual
excursion, which in 2009 took the
group to Schwäbisch Hall. The funds of
the Society of Friends of the Kupferstich-
Kabinett were used in 2009 to purchase
15 drawings by Markus Draper, one photograph
each by David Octavius Hill/Adamson
and Erwin Raupp, as well as a drawing
by Naoko Funakoshi from the exhibition
“Kami-Silence”.

A special event for members of the Freunde
des Grünen Gewölbes e. V. (Society of
Friends of the Grünes Gewölbe) in 2009
was their excursion to Krakow from 25th to
27th September in order to visit the places
of artistic and cultural interest there. The
programme included a visit to St Mary’s
Basilica and Wawel Castle. This former
royal residence offers the visitor not only
magnificent works of art but also imposing
Renaissance architecture featuring an
arcaded courtyard. A further highlight of
this trip was the reception provided by the
Polish Consul.

The rivalry between painting and sculpture
that arose in the Renaissance under
the name “Paragone” inspired the name
for the society of friends of the Skulpturensammlung,
which was founded in
2008: “Paragone e. V.”. In 2009 the society
was able to welcome many new members
