The evolution of how we collect Old Master drawings
In short: How has the landscape of high-level art collecting shifted over the last thirty years? This workshop explores the changing dynamics between major institutions and private donors in the United States.
George R. Goldner, Chairman of The Met's Department of Drawings and Prints, examines three decades of development in American drawing collections. The discussion centers on the evolving relationships between museums and the individuals who provide the works that populate them.
The event highlights specific acquisitions made during Philippe de Montebello's directorship at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. By examining these pieces, curators provide context on how institutional priorities and donor interests have intersected to shape modern public collections.
