Modern Drawings: The Karshan Gift

Paul Holberton Publishing

Offres

This stunning catalogue presents for the first time an outstanding group of modern drawings by European and American masters, assembled by the late Howard Karshan and his wife, Linda, who recently presented the works to The Courtauld. Accompanying their exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery, the
catalogue features drawings by renowned artists including Paul Cézanne, Wassily
Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Sam Francis, Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter and Georg Baselitz.
The Karshan gift is a significant addition to The Courtauld’s collection. The works demonstrate Howard and Linda Karshan’s sensibility for the expressive power and
rich variety of drawing as an art form. The drawings are characterised by innovative
mark-making and distinctive use of line. Examples range from radical watercolours
by Cézanne and highly expressive finger drawings in ink by Louis Soutter, to abstract compositions made by Henri Michaux whilst experimenting with Mescalin to explore the subconscious, and on to works by Twombly that further broadened the possibilities of draughtsmanship. The 25 drawings of the Karshan gift will be shown at The Courtauld Gallery when it reopens in late 2021, following a major transformation project. This catalogue will include an interview with Linda Karshan,
two essays and a fully illustrated catalogue with detailed entries on each work.
