Prints and drawings are traditionally treated separately, but their collecting is shown here to raise many inter-related issues. Employing a wide range of methodologies, the essays in this volume offer a number of innovative investigations into the collecting, perception, classification and display of works on paper. Recurring themes include collecting as a statement about identity, and the role of a collection as a locus of social interaction, for the discussion of attribution, technique, subject matter and other historical, artistic and literary issues.Collecting Prints and Drawings in Europe is published in association with the Burlington Magazine.
