The Drawing Center

The Stage of Drawing: Gesture and Act. Selected from the Tate Collection featured 145 works on paper selected by the artist Avis Newman in collaboration with Catherine de Zegher. The exhibition provided a memorable opportunity to view developments in drawing over the past three centuries through the eyes of an artist who has devoted most of her career to drawing. The exhibition featured a wide array of drawings from the mid-1700s to the 1970s by British and international artists and offered a remarkable survey of the formation of Tate's prestigious and rarely exhibited drawing collection. The Stage of Drawing: Gesture and Act. Selected from the Tate Collection was co-organized by The Drawing Center and Tate.
