SUMMARY:Curator Talk on The Colorful World of Pancho Fierro\, Afro-Peruvian Painter
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk with Senior Curator Emeritus Dr. Marcus Burke about his recently-opened exhibition The Colorful World of Pancho Fierro\, Afro-Peruvian Painter. Dr. Burke will discuss Fierro’s vivid depictions of Peruvian society\, highlighting the extraordinary upward social mobility that was possible in nineteenth-century Lima\, as well as the trans-Pacific networks of exchange that carried Fierro’s watercolors across the globe. The talk will also examine the scientific studies of these works recently completed by a team of scientists from Nottingham Trent University in the UK\, casting Fierro’s watercolors in a new light. \nThis exhibition presents works from the Hispanic Society’s permanent collection\, which is the single largest repository of works by Pancho Fierro. In over fifty years of artistic production\, Fierro worked in watercolor\, painted murals\, and made portraits in oil and pastel\, not to mention undertaking commercial work such as billboards and shop signs. This period coincided with Peruvian independence and the opening of Lima to international commerce\, mainly with England and France\, which triggered a high demand for Fierro’s colorful depictions of Peruvian life. \nDoors open for this event beginning at 10am with light refreshments and an opportunity to visit the exhibition. The talk will start at 10:30am. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in partnership with The Hispanic Society Museum & Library\, and in association with Master Drawings New York 2025. \nSpecial thanks to Hubert and Mireille Goldschmidt for their generosity in supporting research on the watercolors of Pancho Fierro which led to this exhibition. \n\n           \n\nImage: Pancho Fiero (1807/9–1879)\, Dance of Devils on the Day of Quasimodo (detail)\, 1830-1860.

SUMMARY:Annual Master Drawings Symposium 2025
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nYoung scholars and their prize-winning essays are the focus of the annual Master Drawings Symposium\, returning in 2025 for its ninth year. The journal recognizes the best articles by authors under 40 years with an annual cash prize and provides an opportunity for the authors to present their findings in front of drawings enthusiasts.This year’s winner is Olivia Dill\, a PhD candidate at Northwestern University and current Moore Curatorial Fellow at the Morgan Library & Museum. Her prize-winning research was conducted during her two years as the recipient of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, a training program combining experience in three departments: Drawings and Prints\, Paper Conservation\, and Scientific Research. Besides assigning a previously anonymous watercolor of three insects\, including an iridescent Rhinoceros beetle native to Brazil\, to seventeenth-century Dutch natural history artist Pieter Holsteyn II (1614-1673)\, Ms. Dill used an interdisciplinary approach and technical analysis of several blue pigments\, particularly smalt (ground cobalt and glass)\, to shed light on the artist’s color choices and his efforts to translate the beetle’s iridescence on a sheet of paper.2024 runner-up Tamara Kobel\, MA from the University of Bern and a former fellow at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich\, will delve into the fascinating world of Swiss artist Wilhelm Stettler (1643-1708). Focusing on his “Eyerstock\,” a rich artistic tool of sketches and doodles that he described as his fertile pantry of motifs\, she helps us understand what role his diverse sources (a menagerie of finely drawn animals\, war machines\, musical instruments\, skeletons\, flowers\, temples\, and ships) played in the artist’s career and creative process. \nJoin us for a dynamic afternoon of talks followed by Q&A. \nMaster Drawings Symposium celebrates winners of its Ricciardi Prize. Learn more about the prize and the past winners here. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in partnership with Master Drawings\, and in association with Master Drawings New York 2025. The Symposium is made possible through the generous support of the Tavolozza Foundation.  \n\n                   \nImage: Pieter Holsteyn II (1614-1673)\, Blue rhinoceros beetle\, chestnut weevil\, and wasp\, ca 1650-1660.

SUMMARY:Inspired by China: Chinoiserie and Export Drawings
DESCRIPTION:China has long been a source of inspiration and fascination for European artists. In this study session\, we will take a close look at Cooper Hewitt’s holdings of chinoiserie and export drawings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries\, with a focus on works by Jean-Baptiste Pillement and George Chinnery.  Pillement’s playful drawings of architecture\, flora\, and figures highlight the fantastic and romantic visions of China that populated the European imagination.  In contrast to these fanciful representations\, Chinnery’s sketchbook drawings—made during the artist’s travels to Macau—capture scenes and figures from daily life.  In addition to these works\, we will explore chinoiserie drawings and designs by various European artists\, as well as examples of Chinese export gouaches. \nThis study session will be led by Jamie Kwan\, Assistant Curator of Drawings\, Prints & Graphic Design\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in partnership with Cooper Hewitt\, and in association with Master Drawings New York 2025. \n  \n                \nImage: Jean-Baptiste Pillement (1728-1808)\, Flowering Branches (detail)\, 1775-1800\, Chalk on white laid paper.

SUMMARY:Drawings in the Round: Perspectives on Italian Drawings
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhat goes into preparing for a major exhibition or publication on a singular collection of drawings? This panel brings together three distinct perspectives – those of a scholar\, a curator\, and a conservator – on three recent or upcoming projects considering Italian drawing collections. Participants will reflect on how and where such projects originate\, and how the different players involved collaborate and complement each other’s work on and with the objects themselves. Each speaker will offer a 10-15 minute presentation of their project\, each of which offers a major intervention into some aspect of the field of Italian drawings. The presentations will be followed by a lively conversation. \n\n\n\nPanelists:\nAshleigh Brown\, Paper and Photographic Conservator at the Royal Collection Trust\, Windsor\nPresenting on the conservation and preparation for Drawing the Italian Renaissance\, The King’s Gallery\, Buckingham Palace\, October 31\, 2024-March 8\, 2025. \nClaire Van Cleave\, Independent Scholar\nPresenting on her recent publication\, The Farnese Drawings Collection \nFreyda Spira\, Robert L. Solley Curator of Prints and Drawings\, Yale University Art Gallery\nPresenting on an upcoming exhibition tentatively titled Mythmaking in Italian 19th century Drawings that will open in the Fall of 2027. \nModerated by:\nMargaret Holben Ellis\, Eugene Thaw Professor Emerita of Paper Conservation\, NYU \n__ \nAshleigh Brown is a Paper and Photographic Conservator at the Royal Collection Trust\, Windsor. Prior to joining the Royal Collection\, she was self-employed for more than five years\, and co-founded The Conservators Ltd. based in London. Ashleigh is originally from Washington DC\, and attributes her passion for Renaissance art to her early exposure to museums in the DC area. \nClaire Van Cleave is an expert on Renaissance art with a specialization in Italian drawings. After graduating from Georgetown University\, she completed her M.A. at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London and a D.Phil at Christ Church\, Oxford\, where the topic of her dissertation was the drawings of Luca Signorelli. Major publications include Master Drawings of the Renaissance for the British Museum and the Reunion des Musées Nationaux\, and\, as co-author\, Italian Master Drawings from the Princeton University Art Museum. She also curated the drawings galleries for the Luca Signorelli exhibition in Perugia in 2012. Claire is a native Chicagoan\, but has lived in the United Kingdom for nearly forty years.

SUMMARY:(Postponed) Lignier\, "The Portraitist of Mushrooms"
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Talk with Daniella Berman\, PhD on Julien Lignier (1872-1932)\nOn view from January 22 – March 8. 2025 \nVictoria Munroe Fine Art will present an exhibition of over 30 natural history watercolors by French artist and mycologist Julien Alphonse Lignier (1872-1932). Lignier was a French career military commander who applied his talents in drawing and watercolor to an extensive project of depicting myriad fungi\, including mushrooms\, molds\, and spores and growths on flowers\, bark\, plant leaves\, and herbs. From his retirement in 1922 until his death in 1932\, he produced thousands of these detailed watercolors and drawings each with scientific inscriptions\, a feat which earned him the nickname “the portraitist of mushrooms” from fellow amateur mycologists. The Botanical Library of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle – Jardin des Plantes in Paris acquired 5\,000 sheets in 1975. \nDaniella Berman is an art historian\, curator\, and researcher based in New York City. She holds a B.A. from Yale University\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. Daniella has contributed to many publications and exhibitions\, including Horace Vernet\, (Château de Versailles\, 2024)\, and Jacques-Louis David: Radical Draftsman\, (The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, 2022). She is co-editor of Duke House and the Making of Modern New York: Lives and Afterlives of a Fifth Avenue Mansion (Brill\, 2022). She’s had fellowships and positions at the Yale University Art Gallery\, the Yale Center for British Art\, the National Gallery of Art\, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to her position as Head of Special Projects and Strategic Initiatives for The Drawing Foundation\, Berman serves as Vice President of the Historians of Eighteenth-Century Art and Architecture (HECAA) and an at-large board member for the Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art (AHNCA). \n__ \nThis event is organized by Victoria Munroe Fine Art  in association The Drawing Foundation and Master Drawings New York 2025. \n           \nImage: Julien Lignier\, 1768.

SUMMARY:Collector Conversations: Talking Drawings 2025
DESCRIPTION:Most American museums enrich the range and depth of their holdings of works on paper through gifts and bequests from individuals\, made in sizable allotments or smaller installments over decades. Such largesse is often the result of close relationships developed over the years and revolving around a shared passion for drawings\, questions of taste and budget\, and a collector’s belief in a museum’s mission and curator’s vision. This year’s conversation features curators reflecting on the joys and pitfalls of collaborating with celebrated collectors. \nJoin us for a lively and engaging discussion led by Jennifer Tonkovich\, Eugene and Clare Thaw Curator of Drawings and Prints at The Morgan Library & Museum. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in partnership with The Society for the History of Collecting\, and in association with Master Drawings New York 2025. \n       \n  \nImage: Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571)\, A Satyr (detail)\, 1544/45.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: From Drawings to Sculpture: The Harlem Renaissance to Now
DESCRIPTION:Early 20th-century Black artists primarily depicted portraits of people and daily life as they lived it.

SUMMARY:MDNY Gallery Talk: An intimate moment with Modigliani
DESCRIPTION:Looking closely at an exceptional collection of nine drawings by Modigliani\, from the Dr. Paul Alexandre Collection. These early works\, with a unique provenance\, tell the story of Modigliani’s first artistic experimentations\, and testify to the incredible eye of a collector who recognized the value of these drawings\, before the artist’s international recognition.\n\n\nJoin us for a lively discussion\, surrounded by Modigliani drawings\, led by Véronique Chagnon-Burke\, co-chair of The International Art Market Studies Association\, and former Director of Christie’s Education in New York. \nThis event is organized by Agnews in association with David Zwirner\, The Drawing Foundation and Master Drawings New York 2024. Agnews is participating as an exhibitor in Master Drawings New York 2024.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour: Ellsworth Kelly Sketchbooks
DESCRIPTION:Tour the year-long installation at MoMA of Ellsworth Kelly’s Sketchbooks with Samantha Friedman\, Associate Curator\, Museum of Modern Art. \nThe works that Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015) created over his six-decade career feature economic lines\, reduced geometries\, and uninterrupted planes of color. They appear strikingly simple yet embody a semblance of ease that conceals the effort and experimentation involved in producing them. Kelly’s sketchbooks—which largely remained private throughout the artist’s lifetime—reveal the particularities of his unique process. Their pages hint at the real-world references that often inspired his seemingly non-objective compositions. \nThis installation celebrates the centennial of Kelly’s birth and includes several works that came to MoMA as gifts of Jack Shear\, including 25 of the artist’s sketchbooks. A selection of them are shown with related drawings and paintings. In automatic drawings he let his pencil flow freely. In multicolor grids he similarly harnessed the possibilities of chance while arranging squares of paper. And in collages of flat color\, he chose shapes that he adopted from “out there in the world”—transforming passing impressions into an art of ideals. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in association with Master Drawings New York 2024. \n \nImage: Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015)\, Sketchbook #26\, New York City. 1954–56.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Drawn to Teaching / Teaching through Drawings: University Art Museum Collections
DESCRIPTION:Since 1832\, university art museums in the United States have offered an important opportunity to engage with original artworks. Collections of drawings frequently form the core of such teaching institutions\, allowing faculty and students from across the university – far beyond just the art and art history departments – to encounter historic objects. With learning as a central tenet\, drawings collections at university art museums are uniquely situated to develop museum audiences and practitioners\, and to respond to challenges and concerns in creative or experimental ways. This panel brings together curators from university art collections to discuss their approaches to and responsibilities in collecting\, exhibiting\, and teaching with drawings. \n\n \nModerated by:\nEdouard Kopp\, John R. Eckel\, Jr. Foundation Chief Curator at Menil Drawing Institute\, The Menil Collection \nPanelists:\nElisa Germán\, Lunder Curator of Works on Paper and Whistler Studies\, Colby College Museum of Art \nLaura M.

SUMMARY:Annual Master Drawings Symposium 2024
DESCRIPTION:The annual Master Drawings Symposium is returning for its eighth year to showcase the best and brightest young scholars in the drawings field. The program will feature talks by three Ricciardi prize-winning authors published in Master Drawings. The 2023 and 2024 runners-up will begin by presenting their findings. \n\nLuming Guan\, Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellow in The Metropolitan Museum’s Department of Drawings and Prints\, will offer new insights on a sheet by Martin Schongauer\, describing how an intriguing detail led to a fascinating iconographic study. Tom Nevile\, Head of Research at Day & Faber\, London\, will present a corpus of autograph drawings by seventeenth-century Flemish artist Robert van den Hoecke\, providing the first comprehensive look at this little-studied master’s working method. Finally\, in conversation with the Morgan Library’s head of drawings and prints\, John Marciari\, the 2024 Ricciardi prize winner Ian Hicks will discuss his ground-breaking reconsideration of a group of drawings by Giambattista Tiepolo\, research that was begun during his term as the Moore Curatorial Fellow at the Morgan (2020–22). \n\n\nLearn more about the past winners of the Ricciardi Prize. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in association with Master Drawings New York 2024 and is made possible through the generous support of the Tavolozza Foundation.  \n                   \nImage: Giambattista Tiepolo\, Studies of Apollo and Other Figures\, 1752 (detail).

SUMMARY:The Met Curatorial Conversation: Nature and Narrative: Exploring British Drawings
DESCRIPTION:This curatorial conversation is inspired by the exhibition British Vision\, 1700–1900: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints\, on view from December 7\, 2023 through March 5\, 2024. The show celebrates recent additions to The Met’s collection by British artists who worked across two centuries\, from 1700 to 1900. Landscape is a focus here\, with the genre becoming closely allied to the growing popularity of watercolor during this period. Around 1760\, artists like Paul and Thomas Sandby\, Francis Towne\, and Thomas Jones–all of whom painted settings in nature–began to explore the medium’s expressive potential. In the nineteenth century\, dedicated watercolor societies were established and held regular exhibitions to promote their members’ work. Increasingly developed and poetically resonant compositions sought to challenge the preeminence of oil painting. \n\n \nPresentation on the study and collecting of British drawings by three specialists of British art: \nRefining Constable: Two case studies from the Collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Anne Lyles\, Independent Art Historian and Curator\, British Art ca. 1790–1850 \n“Remarkable designs”: Simeon Solomon’s Pre-Raphaelite Drawings Roberto C. Ferrari\, Curator of Art Properties\, Columbia University \nBuilding a Collection of British Drawings and Watercolors at The Met Constance McPhee\, Curator\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art \nFollowing the Curatorial Conversation\, attendees are invited to view the exhibition\, British Vision\, 1700–1900: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints on view in Gallery 690. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in association with Master Drawings New York 2024 and is made possible through the generous support of CHRISTIE’S. \n  \n                   \n  \n  \nImage: Alfred William Hunt (British\, 1830–1896)\, Snowdon\, after an April Hailstorm \, ca. 1857\, watercolor.

SUMMARY:Collector Conversations: Talking Drawings
DESCRIPTION:Over the past twenty-five years\, the market for nineteenth-century French drawings has moved from the margins to the center of the drawings field. While works by marquee artists have long been appreciated\, the canon has expanded significantly along with the opportunities to acquire excellent sheets by less known draftsmen. Yet the field has not quite approached these works with the same interest as the old masters. This year’s conversation features collectors and curators in conversation about the pursuit of drawings made over the course of a tumultuous century in France. Join us for a lively and engaging discussion led by Jennifer Tonkovich\, Eugene and Clare Thaw Curator of Drawings and Prints at The Morgan Library & Museum. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in partnership with the Society for the History of Collecting in association with Master Drawings New York 2024. \n       \n  \nImage: Gustave Courbet (1819 – 1877)\, Artist at his Easel (detail)\, 1847-1848(?).

SUMMARY:MDNY 2024 Inaugural Lecture: Botticelli Drawings
DESCRIPTION:Furio Rinaldi\, Curator\, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco \nThe work of the Florentine artist Sandro Botticelli (ca. 1445-1510) has had an enduring influence and popularity on contemporary culture\, embodying the flowering of the Italian Renaissance. Presented exclusively at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\, Botticelli Drawings is the first and largest exhibition to explore the central role that drawing played in Botticelli’s art and workshop practice. A journey through the artist’s visual creations and their graphic articulation — from his beginnings with maestro Fra Filippo Lippi to the years of Savonarola — the exhibition is anchored by extensive research\, unveiling newly attributed drawings alongside more than 60 works from 39 lending institutions. Exhibition curator Furio Rinaldi outlines Botticelli’s drawing style while exploring the artistic process behind his renowned paintings\, from the Madonna of the Rose Garden in the Louvre\, to the late Adoration of the Magi in the Uffizi. \n\n \nFurio Rinaldi\, Ph.D.\, is Curator of drawings and prints at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\, the largest collection of works on paper in Western United States. An expert on 15th- and 16th-century Italian drawings\, particularly the schools of Leonardo da Vinci\, Raphael\, and Michelangelo\, he has published extensively on the subject in The Burlington Magazine\, Master Drawings\, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art Journal. At FAMSF\, he organized the Legion of Honor exhibition Color into Line: Pastel from the Renaissance to the Present (2021–2022). His curatorial experience includes positions in the department of drawings and prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\, where he also served as a Samuel H. Kress Fellow\, and the Pinacoteca di Brera\, Milan. Rinaldi holds a PhD in art history from the University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’ and an MA and BA in art history from the University of Milan. In 2022 he was appointed David and Julie Tobey Fellow of Italian Drawings at Villa I Tatti\, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in association with Master Drawings New York 2024. \n             \nImage: Sandro Botticelli\, The Devout People of Jerusalem at the Pentecost (detail)\, ca. 1505.
