Graph­ics by Arnulf Rain­er are pre­sent­ed on the sec­ond floor of the gallery. Rain­er prefers dry­point, it allows him to clar­i­fy the var­i­ous dark­en­ing phas­es of his rework­ing and allows him to con­tin­ue work­ing. Many already scratched plates the artist uses again and again until the pos­si­ble com­plete dark­en­ing. Arnulf Rainer’s first etch­ings are black. From the six­ties, col­or is added and becomes an impor­tant design ele­ment. By rework­ing his self-por­traits on zinc clichés or heli­ogravure, Rain­er suc­ceed­ed in expand­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ties of dry­point etch­ing even fur­ther in the 1970s.
