Master Drawings 2020, New York

Scheduled for the last week of January, Master Drawings is a week dedicated to historic art, where collectors, scholars, museum curators and dealers travel to New York from around the world to view artwork and participate in the events around the city.

Exhibition:
It's a Personal Thing: Collecting Illuminations

Why do we collect?  What do we collect?  How do we collect?  This exhibition encourages visitors to pose these questions as they view the nearly three dozen diverse medieval and Renaissance illuminations dating from the twelfth through the sixteenth centuries. In art, what lies behind individual choice and preference is the result of complex personal, cultural, and aesthetic patterns.
