Overview
Karel Appel, Figures, 1975
Over the course of history, the use of paper as an artistic medium evolved from a fundamental support for sketching and printmaking into a dynamic medium that responded to changing artistic ideologies, social contexts, and technological advances. Its adaptability, portability, and accessibility contributed significantly to the artistic achievements and innovations especially as abstract ideas about what is art gained prominence in the mid-20th century.
In this exhibition, 20th and 21st century artists illuminate a variety of techniques and innovative uses of one of the oldest artistic materials known.
