毫无疑问，毕加索是二十世纪最重要、最多才多艺的艺术名人之一。但是，大量的作品是如何变得如此成功，又是如何被大量的收藏，进入博物馆，出现在展览上的呢？往往是个人的勇气，他们发现了作品中蕴含的天赋，并不顾保守主义和批评为这些作品代言。在毕加索的案例中，这个在德国的角色落到了不莱梅艺术商人迈克尔•赫兹身上。本书汇集了杰出的版画作品，包括石版画、线刻画和艺术家的书籍。毕加索的版画作品可以说是一批令人着迷的藏品，从中可以读出战后德国廉价媒介的胜利，也可以读出这位经销商的坚定承诺。

Without a doubt, Picasso is one of the most important and versatile artistic personalities of the twentieth century. But how does a body of work become so successful, and how does it wind up in major collections, museums, and exhibitions? Not infrequently, it is the courage of individuals who recognize genius in the works and advocate for them in the face of conservatism and criticism. In Picasso’s case, this role in Germany fell to the Bremen art dealer Michael Hertz. His commitment in the post-war period is not only due to Picasso's exhibition at the documenta 3 in 1964, but also to the Kunsthalle Bremen, which has one of the most extensive collections of the artist’s prints. This volume brings together the outstanding printworks, including lithographs, linocuts, and artist’s books. Picasso’s oeuvre of prints can be regarded as a fascinating collection, in which can be read the triumph of the affordable medium in post-war Germany, as well as the dealer's strong commitment.
