This expansive collection features nearly 60 works by some of the contemporary art world’s most recognizable figures, including Anish Kapoor, Sol Lewitt, Maya Lin, and Kiki Smith, amongst others. From six-foot long gouache tableaus to charcoal preparatory drawings to rough pencil sketches, these works illustrate the important role working on paper plays for sculptors in the creative process, helping to translate ideas into three-dimensional forms.

Collection curated by: Brian J. Lang, Curator, Corporate Art Collection.
