WITH NEW PARTNERS AND EXPANDED PURVIEW, MASTER DRAWINGS NEW YORK RETURNS TO THE UPPER EAST SIDE IN JANUARY
Spanning 39 City Blocks and 7 Centuries, The Annual Week-Long Event Offers Works by Artists from Parmigianino and Pontormo to Twombly and Marden
NEW YORK, NY - Master Drawings New York (MDNY) returns to the Upper East Side for its twelfth year from Saturday, January 27, 2018 to Saturday, February 3, 2018, at a time when all eyes are on the Old Masters market.
Still the pre-eminent international showcase for fine drawings, even as its purview extends for the first time to paintings and sculpture, a reconfigured MDNY showcases art from the 15th to the 21th centuries. Twenty-one art dealers will participate, including ten new to the show, including Agnew's and Naumann Fine Art, Colnaghi, Anthony Grant and Tomasso Brothers Fine Art. As many exhibitions will extend from 54th to 93rd Street.
"MDNY is special. Because it coincides with the Old Master auctions, our dealers serve the returning collectors, curators, museum directors and market specialists who come to New York every January; and because admission is free, they also engage first-time show goers and those on the cusp of collecting," notes Crispian Riley-Smith, Chief Executive, Master Drawings New York Ltd.
The Academy Mansion at 2 East 63th Street is once again the centralized location for visitor orientation and public programs as well as a key exhibition.
