IFPDA Foundation Book Award Winner: Lines of Connection: Drawing and Printmaking, 1400-1850

April 12, 2026 · 2:00 PM ET

Edina Adam and Jamie Gabbarelli

While often viewed and studied separately, drawings and prints have always been closely intertwined. They facilitated and generated the production of one another, and in some instances, clear distinctions between the two dissolved. This reciprocal relationship goes even deeper, as innovative artists made fascinating hybrid works that blurred the boundaries between the two media, pushing against modern definitions and hierarchies. *Lines of Connection* charts these historical and geographical continuities, foregrounding issues of artistic process and collaboration, technical innovation, and creative ingenuity with prints and drawings by artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Parmigianino, Hendrick Goltzius, Maria Sibylla Merian, Rembrandt van Rijn, and William Blake. Jamie Gabbarelli is the Prince Trust Associate Curator in Prints and Drawings, where he is responsible for the collection of European works on paper from the 15th to the 18th centuries. His research focuses on artistic exchanges between Italy and northern Europe, on the history of printmaking techniques, and on the relationship between prints and other media. Edina Adam is assistant curator of drawings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Christophe Cherix became the seventh director of The Museum of Modern Art in 2025. He previously served as the Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art from 2013 to 2025. His appointment to that role followed a reorganization that merged the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, of which he had been Chief Curator since 2010, with the Department of Drawings. Cherix joined the Museum’s curatorial staff in July 2007, after serving as curator of the Cabinet des Estampes at the Musée d’art et d’histoire in Geneva, Switzerland. His specialty is modern and contemporary art, with a particular focus on the art of the 1960s and 1970s. Bill Goldston joined Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) in 1969 as a printer and became its director following the passing of its founders Tatyana Grosman in 1982. Goldston has collaborated with generations of artists, including Lee Bontecou, Chuck Close, Carroll Dunham, Helen Frankenthaler, Bill Jensen, Jasper Johns, Marisol, Robert Motherwell, Elizabeth Murray, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Susan Rothenberg, Kiki Smith, Terry Winters, Christopher Wool, and Lisa Yuskavage. Known for his deep technical knowledge, collaborative spirit, and commitment to innovation, Goldston has played a central role in shaping the language of contemporary printmaking for more than five decades. Terry Winters has been examining, in various iterations, the relationships between modernist abstraction, information systems, and the architecture of the natural world for more than four decades in his painting, drawing, and printmaking. Each of these different media furthers his overall project where mark-making is seen as a pictorial process, and where each medium is used to reveal new subjects and possible meanings.

IFPDA 2025 BOOK AWARD | The Radical Print: Art and Politics in Late 18th Century Britain — Dr Esther Chadwick

March 29, 2025 · 6:00 PM ET

Dr Esther Chadwick

A groundbreaking account of printmaking in Britain that explores the medium’s intersection with radical politics, The Radical Print argues for printmaking in Britain as the most exciting, innovative, and critically engaged field of artistic production in the late 18th century, demonstrating how print responded to the acceleration of historical events, the polarisation of public discourse, and the sense of a world turned upside down in ways that traditional artistic media could not. Dr Esther Chadwick is Lecturer in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art. She was the co-curator of *Figures of Empire: Slavery and Portraiture in Eighteenth Century Atlantic Britain (Yale Center for British Art, 2014), A Revolutionary Legacy: Haiti and Toussaint Louverture (British Museum, 2018)* and *Entangled Pasts, 1768-now: art, colonialism and change (Royal Academy, 2024)*.

Seeking Revelation: German Romantic Prints and Drawings — Nikki Otten

March 28, 2025 · 2:00 PM ET

Nikki Otten

During the German Romantic movement (ca. 1770–1850), many artists attempted to gain a deeper understanding of universal questions through the process of making. Decades of upheaval caused by the French Revolution, Napoleon’s invasion of Germany, and challenges to the Enlightenment’s emphasis on reason led them to reconsider their national identity and sense of self, as well as nature and the divine. Through works drawn from the Milwaukee Art Museum’s collection, this upcoming exhibition (Spring 2026) will examine the importance of seeking in German Romantic art, and demonstrate that even when it did not reveal answers, the act of seeking offered its own reward. Nikki Otten is associate curator of prints and drawings at the Milwaukee Art Museum, where she is responsible for a collection of works on paper that spans the 15th to the 21st century. Since being appointed to her role in 2018, she has curated the major exhibitions *Currents 39: LaToya M. Hobbs, Carving Out Time; Always New: The Posters of Jules Chéret; and Landfall Press: Five Decades of Printmaking.*

IFPDA 2024 BOOK AWARD | The Circulating Lifeblood of Ideas: Leo Steinberg’s Library of Prints — Holly Borham

March 28, 2025 · 6:00 PM ET

Holly Borham

Beginning in the 1960s, with the meager budget of a part-time art history professor, Leo Steinberg amassed a collection of more than 3,500 prints that spans the medium’s 500-year history in the West. Steinberg’s collection, incorporating the work of artists both famous and obscure, illuminates his claim that in the era before photography, prints functioned as the “circulating lifeblood of ideas,” disseminating figures, compositions, and styles across boundaries of geography, time, and medium. This volume examines the development of Steinberg’s remarkable collection and its role in his scholarship on artists ranging from Michelangelo and Leonardo to Picasso and Jasper Johns. Holly Borham is Associate Curator of Prints, Drawings, and European Art at the Blanton Museum of Art, where she has curated a range of exhibitions on the graphic arts from the 16th through 21st centuries.

Up Towards the Daylight: A Conversation on the work of William Kentridge with Judy Hecker, Jillian Ross, and Phil Sanders

February 17, 2024 · 4:00 PM ET

Judy Hecker, Jillian Ross and Phil Sanders

Two large-scale works by William Kentridge, *The Old Gods Have Retired* and *The Flood*, on view as a special project at the 2024 IFPDA Fair, serve as a jumping off point for conversation on the decades-long dedication to printmaking by Kentridge, who will be featured in a new video interview with Phil Sanders. Kentridge’s works are as visually and physically layered as the human narratives influencing their meaning, weaving together contemporary and historic political and social themes, often using his native South Africa as a stand in for universal struggles for self determination. Judy Hecker, an early supporter of Kentridge’s work, authored *Trace* (MoMA, 2010), part catalog and part artist book, as an accompaniment to the presentation of William Kentridge: Five Themes at MoMA -- the first comprehensive survey of the artist’s career presented in New York. Hecker currently serves as Executive Director of Print Center New York. Jillian Ross is a collaborative master printer based in Saskatoon, Canada. Ross began working at the David Krut Workshop (Johannesburg, South Africa) in 2003 where she became one of William Kentridge’s primary print collaborators, completing some of Kentridge’s most ambitious print projects including: *The Universal Archive, the Triumphs and Laments* woodcut series, and most recently the *Studio Life* photogravures. Ross was responsible for implementing the two works on view, loaned by David Krut. Sanders has been involved with the David Krut Workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa since 2008 where he has served as an advisor to many of the monumental projects published with Kentridge. *Remembering is the Effort*, a catalog raisonné of the works of Kentridge published by David Krut over the past 30 years, authored by Phil Sanders and Jacqueline Flint, is due out this fall. Sanders authored *Prints and Their Makers*, winner of the 2021 IFPDA Book Award.

Drawings and Prints: An Evolving Relationship

October 28, 2023 · 2:00 PM ET

Nadine Orenstein, Jamie Gabbarelli, Kim Conaty and Chris Bishop

The acts of drawing and printmaking have always been intertwined. Historically, drawing has been the space of inspiration and development before setting the burin to plate or crayon to stone. This panel will discuss the areas of intersection between drawings and prints and how the understanding of the relationship between these two mediums has changed over time and continues to evolve in current scholarship. The subject of this panel is inspired by this year’s Master Drawings New York showcase at IFPDA: Drawings for Prints. Organized in collaboration with The Drawing Foundation and Master Drawings New York. Moderated by David Tunick, President, IFPDA.

The Publisher’s Gambit: The Mysterious Business of Print Publishing

October 28, 2023 · 4:00 PM ET

Nadine Orenstein and Phil Sanders

The mysterious business of print publishing has changed little since Hieronymus Cock and Volcxken Diericx founded the print publishing house, Aux Quatre Vents (The Four Winds) in Antwerp in 1548. They understood that every print requires the skills and expertise of an artist, a printer, and a publisher to make the leap from imagination to a physical reality. Recognizing that these roles did not need to be performed by the same person, they divided up the labor, pairing artists with printmakers and selling the prints themselves. This method of divided labor has remained to this day a common and time-tested business model. Join Nadine Orenstein and Phil Sanders for a lively discussion on the origins of modern print publishing in the 16th century, how it works today, and why print publishers are still willing to bet it all on the art. This program was presented at the IFPDA Print Fair 2023 on-site at the Javits Convention Center.

Dürer’s prints demonstrate his knowledge of the politics, trade, and religion of the Mamluk and Ottoman Empires, much of which has been forgotten over the past half century. Susan Dackerman is an art historian and curator who has held posts at the Baltimore Museum of Art, Harvard Art Museums, Getty Research Institute, and Stanford University. Her exhibitions and catalogues include Painted Prints: The Revelation of Color in Northern Renaissance and Baroque Engravings, Etchings, and Woodcuts, (Baltimore Museum of Art, 2002); Prints and the Pursuit of Knowledge in Early Modern Europe, (Harvard Art Museums, 2011); and Corita Kent and the Language of Pop, (Harvard Art Museums, 2015); as well as Jasper Johns: A Catalogue Raisonné of the Monotypes, with Jennifer Roberts, (Matthew Marks Gallery and Yale University Press, 2017). She currently lives in Los Angeles and recently completed the book, Dürer’s Knots: Early European Print and the Islamic East (Princeton University Press, 2024). This program was hosted by the IFPDA Print Fair 2023 on-site at the Javits Convention Center.

Colonialism is the Real AIDS: Artist Activist Juan Sanchez in Conversation with Deborah Cullen

October 27, 2023 · 4:00 PM ET

Moderated by Jennifer Farrell, curator for modern and contemporary prints, illustrated books, and artists' books at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Juan Sánchez is an influential American visual artist and activist, and one of the most important Nuyorican cultural figures in recent decades with work in the permanent collections of The Met, MoMA, El Museo del Barrio and more. Over 50 years he has produced an extensive body of prints (with Tamarind Institute, Wildwood Press, and the Robert Blackburn Workshop) that consistently address issues that are as relevant now as they were in the 1980s – race and class, cultural identity, equality, social justice, and self-determination. Deborah Cullen is Program Officer for Arts and Culture at the Mellon Foundation. Prior to her current position, she was Executive Director of the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Director and Chief Curator of the Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University, Director of Curatorial programs at El Museo del Barrio, and Curator of the print collection at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. This program is presented by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and hosted by the IFPDA Print Fair 2023 on-site at the Javits Convention Center.

Dare To Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment

October 29, 2022 · 1:30 PM ET

Elizabeth Rudy, Thea Goldring, J. Cabelle Ahn and Kristel Smentek

Harvard Art Museums’s major loan exhibition *Dare To Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment* examines the critical role played by the graphic arts in the construction and dissemination of ideas during the Enlightenment period, giving visual, concrete form to novel concepts in every realm of intellectual inquiry. The exhibition argues that prints and drawings wielded the potential to visually articulate, reinforce, or contradict beliefs as well as biases, while also arguing for social action and imagining new realities. This talk opens with co-curator Elizabeth Rudy’s overview of the exhibition’s scope and arguments, followed by two student contributors’ focused presentations on one print they researched for the exhibition and wrote about in the catalog, and concludes with co-curator Kristel Smentek’s brief remarks and observations.
