The Frick Collection announced this week that they’ll be showing off a selection of about 70 drawings on loan from Germany starting June 1. The show, “From Callot to Greuze: French Drawings from Weimar,” are from the combined collection of the Schlossmuseum and the Goethe-Nationalmuseum in Weimar, and many of them haven’t left the Eastern bloc before.

Some of the drawings on paper in the collection were originally donated to the German national collection by the philosopher, poet, and all-around party animal Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was an avid collector of French drawings. The press release is quite detailed and touches on some of the important work that will be on display. Several scans of the important pieces are also available, and details on a free public lecture on opening day, June 1.
