In this book five prominent contemporary artists have each compiled a personal selection of Edvard Munch’s drawings. Munch drew more or less daily throughout his long life and left behind approximately 7700 drawings. Each of the five selections provide a unique glimpse into this abundant material and is presented together with works by the artists, and an interview in which they reflect on Munch’s drawings and their own art.

This book is published in conjunction with the digital publication of Munch’s complete drawings, which is now accessible to everyone who wishes to explore this central aspect of his oeuvre.
