1 work across 1 institution
Berlin's Alte Nationalgalerie holds 1 work by Edgar Degas (1834–1917) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Degas was primarily a draughtsman, and the extraordinary line beneath his dancers and racehorses becomes visible only in the original work. His pastels are particularly striking in person, with a chalky luminosity that no printed reproduction can replicate.
