Drawn from Artists' Collections

This exhibition catalogue includes selections from the personal drawing collections of artists Baselitz, Brown, Fischl, Frankenthaler, Hodgkin, Johns, Katz, Kelly, LeWitt, Lichtenstein, Marden, Murray, Shapiro, Ruscha, Schnabel, and Winters. The works illustrated range from established art historical figures such as Gericault and Tiepolo, to modern masters such as Picasso and Brancusi, to Kotah and Mughal miniatures and a Pygmy bark drawing. Robert Storr addresses why many artists collect and what can be learned by experiencing the medium of drawing through the knowledgeable eyes of artists themselves.
