Founded in 1977, by curator Martha Beck (1938-2014), The Drawing Center explores the medium of drawing as primary, dynamic and relevant to contemporary culture, the future of art and creative thought. Its activities are both multidisciplinary and broadly historical, and include exhibitions, public programs, publications, and a unique artist-run exhibition program aimed at the contemporary artists’ community. Funds raised through the sale of George Condo’s Multiple Personalities, 2019 will provide crucial support for The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and programs, which include The Pencil Is a Key: Drawings by Incarcerated Artists opening in October 2019, as well as monographic exhibitions of Curtis Talwst Santiago, Guo Fengyi, and Huguette Caland. In Spring 2020, The Drawing Center will also reprise Bellwethers: The Culture of Controversy, a new speaking series that convenes writers, cultural critics, and artists to examine a polemical topic of our moment.
