In Europe, drawing and printmaking have rich interconnected histories evolving from the 15th century—when drawing and printing on paper rose to prominence—to the 19th, when photography and notions of originality significantly altered their relationship. This major loan exhibition tells the story of how artists have worked creatively on paper, crossing boundaries between media and challenging traditions. In addition, see large-scale prints and drawings by LA-based Toba Khedoori, who works across the two media.

It includes drawings by great masters such as Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Goya, as well as an extensive selection of prints, watercolors, and preparatory sketches.
