"Recent Acquisitions: Prints and Photographs" Exhibition
New York Public Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
This event has ended.
The prints featured in the exhibition showcase examples that were made and acquired in the last decade. Illustrating a wide array of techniques, nationalities, subjects, and styles, these artists exemplify the range and diversity of the Library’s Print Collection.
The photographs on display, by contrast, focus on a more specific type of work: the sequence or series. Although serial photography is arguably as old as the medium itself, the artists in the exhibition deploy the series— often as a means of self-projection or self-exploration— in a manner that is clearly aligned with contemporary artistic practice.
