Conference on Drawings Collections in Vienna and Central Europe
10-11 June 2021 / Wien, Albertina & University (online by Zoom)
The conference aims to systematically illuminate the emergence of collections of drawings in Vienna and Central Europe, asking about the actors, their international interconnections and their motivations, about special collection foci, acquisition strategies and tastes, about storage and classification systems, about medial dissemination, for example in reproductive engravings or through catalogue works, about structures of the art trade and the interplay between collecting, connoisseurship and drawing studies.
The conference programme is available on the website of the Vienna Center for the History of Collecting.
The conference will take place as a ZOOM meeting. You can dial in directly via the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/96825246424?pwd=TTdwRU5Hek5qR01YMkx2TzJJTnc0UT09.

Master Drawings New York 2020
25 January – 1 February 2020 | New York
The last week of January, it is Winter time, the Big Apple often covered by snow, freezing temperatures, sometimes an Epic Blizzard preventing you to get in (or out), but the place to be for the die-hards of the Drawings Jet Set. This is the start of the new season, when art dealers show their best drawings in galeries on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The main auction houses – Christie’s and Sotheby’s – have their first sales of Old Master drawings and paintings. International private collectors and museum curators compete to make their first acquisitions of the new year.
On Tuesday January 28th, 2019 at 5:30 pm, our sister periodical Master Drawings will host the Fourth Annual Symposium Master Drawings: Then and Now at the NYU Institute of Fine Arts, 1 East 78th Street, a ticketed event.

28th edition of the Salon du Dessin
27 March – 1 April 2019 | Paris, Palais Brongniart
The highlight of the OMD season. It’s Spring time: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and collectors and curators are all over the place, dwelling in museums, auction houses, galleries and, first of all, the Palais Brongniart (Place de la Bourse). For those who have registered in advance there is a special program of visits to museums in and around Paris. The Musée du Louvre printroom has a dry reception for guests on the Monday evening, with drawings on display in the reading room, the curators giving information. The opening of the Salon (champagne!) is on Tuesday at 15:00h., for invited guests only. The main local auction houses Christie’s, Art Curial and Drouot have their OMD sales during this week. Noteworthy is the sale of around 30 drawings from the Jean Bonna collection at Christie’s on 27 April 2019.
