Drawing Now, published to accompany the first major survey of contemporary
drawings at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 15 years, contains
more than 100 color reproductions of work by 26 international artists,
both well-known and emerging, that demonstrate the fascinating variety
of methods and approaches, mediums and scales, apparent in this
old-again, new-again art. Accompanying essays by the exhibition's
curator, Laura Hoptman, explore eight themes that she perceives
in the field--Drafting & Architecture, Mental Maps & Metaphysics,
Popular Culture & National Culture, Fashion, Likeness &
Allegory, Envisioning a City, Science & Art, Comics & Other
Subcultures, Ornament & Crime--and provide key impulses behind
drawing's recent resurgence.
