Drawing and Its Double: Selections from the Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica
Drawing and its Double: Selections from the Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica, the landmark exhibition co-organized with the Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica (ING), presents plates as primary art objects. Accompanying the exhibition, the publication comprises fifty-nine engraved metal printing plates dating from the 16th to late 20th century. These include significant works by influential artists and engravers such as Giorgio Ghisi, Lafrery Du Perac, Salvator Rosa, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Antonio Canova, Giorgio Morandi, Piero Dorazio, and Achille Perilli. Scholarly essays shed light on the study and conservation of historical printmaking techniques, ultimately situating printing plates as unique artworks in and of themselves.
