"The Draftsman's Colors: Fourteen New Acquisitions from Johns to Chong"
2001-03-03 until 2001-07-08
Whitney Museum of Art
New York, NY, USA

The fourteen works in this exhibition—selected from 240 drawings acquired by the Whitney Museum since 1997—demonstrate the very different ways outstanding draftsmen have expressed the underlying concepts of their art within the limited range of color from gray to black.

The artists' avoidance of strong color allows the viewer to concentrate on their pure draftsmanship. Included are drawings in various media by three of America's most prominent draftsmen, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, and Richard Serra, as well as emerging artists such as Peggy Preheim, Robert Beck, and Joseph Havel.
