Details:

Making a Mark features contemporary works on paper gifted to the Portland Art Museum by noted collectors of drawings Werner H. and Sally Kramarsky. The exhibition showcases 23 artists whose drawing practices emphasize process, including William Anastasi, Arnold Kemp, Marco Maggi, Allyson Strafella, and Joan Waltemath. Making a Mark illuminates the wide variety of expressions possible when materials and tools take center stage. This selection of works also reveals the many directions that contemporary artists have taken minimalism and conceptual art. Grounded in 1960s European and American art, these formalist and idea-based movements have become the foundation for divergent creative paths. A playful mix of technique and principle underscores the works in the exhibition.
