The Primacy of Paper: Recent works from the collection

12:00 AM - 11:55 PM

Opening January 15 in the Linda and Vincent Buonanno Works on Paper Gallery.  Contemporary drawings and prints can function as key components of an artist’s practice, and in recent years, works on paper have come to challenge the primacy of painting and sculpture. This selection, intended to complement the exhibition Pat Steir: Drawing Out of Line, features recent works by Shahzia Sikander, Julie Mehretu (MFA 1997), Kiki Smith, Sol LeWitt, and others for whom the act and process of drawing plays a key role in the creation or rejection of meaning.
