Larry Silver curates prints on a 'Grand Scale'
Prof. Larry Silver has organized a major exhibition, entitled "Grand Scale: Monumental Prints in the Age of Dürer and Titian," which recently opened at Wellesley College, Davis Museum and Cultural Center (19 March-8 June 2008). It will travel to the Yale University Art Gallery (fall 2008) and then the Philadelphia Museum of Art (31 January-26 April 2009).
The exhibition focuses on those multi-sheet composite prints that broke the boundaries of the single sheet print and its ultimate destination in albums, to provide a frieze of prints in sequence (often a triumph or procession) or else a full-blown mural image. This phenomenon was employed for all media (woodcut, engraving, even etching) and in all major centers (Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands) throughout the sixteenth century. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with essays and checklist, distributed by Yale University Press.
