Join NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies in a collaboration with the the 19th annual presentation of Sanford L. Smith and Associates Works on Paper Fair at the Armory. We explore the dramatic shift in recent years as drawings, prints, photographs, and other paper-based work have become dominant modes of expression in contemporary art practice, on a par with painting and sculpture. The symposium will look at the diverse ways today's contemporary artists are blurring traditional boundaries, experimenting with scale, hybrid media, content from cartooning, folk art, street art, commercial art and architectural drafting. The symposium offers an unprecedented opportunity for gaining perspective on these crucial new trends through a series of three illustrated panel discussions.  Panel participants include distinguished art world experts such as Deborah Wye (Chief Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books, Museum of Modern Art);  Carter Foster (Curator of Drawings, Whitney Museum of Art); Isabelle Dervaux (Curator of Modern and Contemporary Drawings, Morgan Library & Museum); contemporary artists Nicola Lopez, Lesley Dill, Marco Breuer, and Mark Fox; a cutting-edge collector and Vice-Chair of the Museum of Modern Art Drawing Committee; major international dealers; and critics and print publishers, Bill Goldston (ULAE) and Evelyn Lasry (Two Palms Press), whose pioneering technical breakthroughs and print collaborations have expanded the art's possibilities, David Cohen (Art Critic/Contributing Editor, The New York Sun, Editor and Publisher, artcritical.com).
