Selections from the Collection focuses on the prints and drawings that dominate the Bell Gallery collection and represent its greatest strength. The exhibition aims to provide an overview of the collection’s prints and drawings rather than to arrange them according to specific subject matter, conceptual framework, or geographic location. Its organizational principle is governed by the aesthetic and historical merit of the artworks, but also follows a chronological order, dividing the works loosely into three main sections: old master, modern, and contemporary.
