MOMA Department of Drawings and Prints:
Drawings and prints were the first works to enter The Museum of Modern Art’s collection in 1929, the year of the Museum’s founding. At various points in MoMA’s history, these two mediums have been separated into individual departments or joined together; since 2013, they have been united within the Department of Drawings and Prints.
MoMA’s drawings holdings represent one of the most comprehensive collections of 20th-century works on paper, bringing together more than 13,600 items. These include a historical range of drawings in pencil, ink, and charcoal, as well as watercolors, gouaches, collages, and works in mixed mediums.
Additionally, the Department of Drawings and Prints houses several discrete collections, including the Judith Rothschild Foundation Collection of Russian Books (approximately 1,000 works, acquired 2001–02); the Judith Rothschild Foundation Collection of Contemporary Drawings (approximately 2,600 works, acquired 2005); the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection (approximately 5,000 works, acquired 2008); and the Louise Bourgeois print archive (approximately 5,000 works, acquired on an ongoing basis since 1993).
