Featuring over 30 galleries, each exhibition of works will host an expert specialist to provide all necessary details on available works. Via the event’s webpage: “Highlights of the 2016 tenth edition of Master Drawings New York include an important Sonia Delaunay cover design for L’Album no.1 (474 dating to 1916), at the Leonard Hutton Galleries whose show is titled ‘Drawings and Watercolors: To Observe and Imagine.’ Lowell Libson Ltd., leading dealers in British art, will be showing a series of masterpieces including important works by Thomas Gainsborough, John Constable, Samuel Palmer and John Robert Cozens. Mireille Mosler will be showing newly re-identified pen, chalk and pastel portraits of prominent Swiss collectors, Nin and Fritz Meyer-Fierz, by Jan Toorop. She says, ‘These are quite remarkable portraits, commissioned by the collector, that were in the family for generations and only recently came on the market.’ Van Doren Waxter gallery is showcasing ‘Richard Diebenkorn Early Color Abstractions 1949–1955’ including several untitled gouache and graphite works by the artist from the early 1950s.”
