From Proof to Perfection; The Genesis of the Vollard Suites by Bonnard, Denis, Vuillard, Roussel, and Clot — with Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho, Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 

 

At the turn of the 20th century, the celebrated art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard commissioned four extraordinary suites of colour lithographs from the Nabi artists Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis, Edouard Vuillard, and Ker-Xavier Roussel. Published around 1899 and printed by the master lithographer Auguste Clot, these series, each comprising twelve prints and a cover, are among the finest accomplishments in the field of artistic color lithography.

 

Author and curator, Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho unpacks the recently released catalogue From Proof to Perfection, which reunites a remarkable body of preparatory drawings, trial proofs, and related works in other media, revealing the full scope of artistic decision-making behind these celebrated suites, sketching the broader landscape of late 19th-century lithography, and introducing the artists Bonnard, Denis, Vuillard, and Roussel; Clot as printer; and Vollard as the visionary orchestrator of the project.

 

Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho is Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. She was responsible for the exhibition and catalogue Prints in Paris 1900: From Elite to the Street (2017) and is the author of several other publications on late 19th-century French art, focusing on printmaking, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Symbolism. She has curated many exhibitions at the Van Gogh Museum and is currently working on an exhibition and catalogue on Eva Gonzalès in collaboration with the Petit Palais, Paris (2026).

Planting a Flag; Jasper Johns and the Enduring Power of Printmaking — with Christophe Cherix and Bill Goldston

 

Christophe Cherix became the seventh director of The Museum of Modern Art in 2025.

Cherix joined the Museum’s curatorial staff in July 2007, after serving as curator of the Cabinet des Estampes at the Musée d’art et d’histoire in Geneva, Switzerland.

New Realities: Donald Sultan at Tyler Graphics — with Donald Sultan and Dr Warwick Heywood, Kenneth E Tyler Curator, National Gallery of Australia

 

​This conversation brings together renowned American artist Donald Sultan and Dr Warwick Heywood, Curator of International Prints and Drawings at the National Gallery of Australia for a conversation investigating Sultan’s evolution as a printmaker, highlighting his time at Tyler Graphics and the influence of that pioneering studio environment on his techniques and artistic direction. It will also reflect on Tyler’s broader impact and trace how the National Gallery of Australia came to house the extensive archive and proofs from his studios - from his early collaborations at Gemini GEL in Los Angeles through to the later operations of Tyler Graphics. The program is offered in conjunction with the publication of Tyler Graphics: Catalogue Raisonné, 1986–2001, which documents the final projects of master printer Kenneth E. Tyler, a seminal figure in the 20th‑century American print renaissance. Tyler’s ambition and relentless pursuit of innovation drove him to push artists beyond familiar boundaries, developing new technologies and purpose‑built workshop facilities around the world.

IFPDA Foundation Book Award Winner: Lines of Connection: Drawing and Printmaking, 1400-1850 — with Edina Adam, Associate Curator of Drawings at the J. Paul Getty Museum and Jamie Gabbarelli, the Prince Trust Associate Curator in Prints and Drawings at the Art Institute Chicago

​​​​

While often viewed and studied separately, drawings and prints have always been closely intertwined. They facilitated and generated the production of one another, and in some instances, clear distinctions between the two dissolved. This reciprocal relationship goes even deeper, as innovative artists made fascinating hybrid works that blurred the boundaries between the two media, pushing against modern definitions and hierarchies. Lines of Connection charts these historical and geographical continuities, foregrounding issues of artistic process and collaboration, technical innovation, and creative ingenuity with prints and drawings by artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Parmigianino, Hendrick Goltzius, Maria Sibylla Merian, Rembrandt van Rijn, and William Blake.

Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette — with Yifu Liu, Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow, The Frick Collection

​

Offered in conjunction with the exhibition by the same name at The Frick Collection, Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette explores hand-colored engravings of French fashion in the late 18th century. Known as fashion plates, the Galerie des modes et costumes français (1778–87) was the largest and most influential series of its kind produced during the period, which documented the dazzling fashions of a pivotal moment in French history. Its remarkable success anticipated the emergence of modern fashion magazines.
