Independence and Identity: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints
14 May 2026 — 6 Oct 2026 at The Met Fifth Avenue
· New York
This exhibition presents a carefully chosen selection of works from the Department of Drawings and Prints, bringing together drawings and prints that reflect on the enduring themes of independence and identity. The works on view invite visitors to consider how artists across different periods and traditions have used the medium of works on paper to assert individuality, challenge convention, and explore what it means to belong — or to stand apart.
