Journeys of Innovation
Printmaking from Atelier 17 to Tamarind and Beyond
In commemoration of Atelier 17’s forthcoming 100th anniversary and America’s 250th semiquincentennial, Journeys of Innovation: Printmaking from Atelier 17 to Tamarind and Beyond celebrates the impetus and ingenuity of the graphic arts, to which American and European printmakers contributed in vital, transformational ways. America played an especially important part in these activities by providing a place where artists from across the world and different backgrounds have had the opportunity to learn, work, develop new ideas, and express themselves freely.

Crossroads of Exchange
Indian Paintings from the Mughals to the Company School
Crossroads of Exchange: Indian Paintings from the Mughals to the Company School explores how artists working across the Indian subcontinent developed varied and prolific forms of painting from the fifteenth to twentieth centuries. Focusing on artistic and cultural exchanges among India’s many ethnic groups and the British, this exhibition illuminates how painters created unique, vibrant historical and religious subjects, aristocratic portraits, depictions of myths and legends, and scenes of daily life. In more than 100 paintings, drawings, and prints, Crossroads of Exchange examines major developments in Indian painting from the Jain, Mughal, Deccani, Rajasthani, Bengali, and Pahari traditions, as well as the Company School and other colonial-period trends. The tour schedule for Crossroads of Exchange is limited to two years in order to preserve the fragile, light-sensitive works of art.
