Summary:

"One of America's foremost art dealers, Richard Gray, along with his wife, art historian Mary L. Gray, amassed a remarkable collection of drawings, paintings, and sculpture representing seven hundred years of Western art history. A companion to a first volume that showcased works in all three media, this publication focuses on drawings and includes thirty-six important examples by thirty-three artists from the fifteenth through twentieth centuries. Presented chronologically, the catalogue comprises four sections, each with a substantial introduction that explores the art of drawing in the period as seen through the masterworks in the Gray collection. Scholarly entries on individual drawings follow, each written by specialists in the field and featuring illustrations of related works and full information on ownership and publication history. This indispensible guide to a key collection addresses important works by artists such as Guercino, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, and Paolo Veronese, who worked in the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries; Francois Boucher, Jacques-Louis David, and Hendrick Goltzius from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; nineteenth-century luminaries such as Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Auguste Rodin; and acclaimed twentieth-century artists and architects including Max Ernst, Jackson Pollock, Georges Vantongerloo, Tadao Ando, and Jaume Plensa. A special feature is the guestbook from the Richard Gray Gallery, which is adorned with drawings and salutations from Jim Dine, David Hockney, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Susan Sontag, Saul Steinberg, John Updike, and Tom Wolfe, among others"-- Provided by publisher.
