Whistler At Work: The Process of Printmaking
December 3, 2007 - June 15
Gourley Gallery in the Lunder Wing
Peter and Paula Lunder have assembled one of the foremost collections of prints by James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), comprising more than 200 etchings and lithographs of the highest quality. The latest in a continuing series of exhibitions drawn from this collection not only serves as an overview of Whistler's printmaking career but also highlights a number of rare examples that reveal Whistler's working process. Important selections include examples of Whistler's trial proofs, three pairs of prints that show how the artist developed his images through successive printings from the same plate, and a rare pastel that illuminates how Whistler treated similar subjects in different media.
