'The present exhibition contains over 200 works on paper by twenty-six artists from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It does not pretend to cover all of the important drawing being made today, but it does represent a significant strain of this work as practiced by some of the strongest artistic voices of the past decade. It also marks a moment when drawing has become a primary mode of expression for the most inventive and influential artists of the time.' - excerpt from introduction by Laura Hoptman. With artist biographies.
