Pushing paper: Contemporary drawing from 1970 to now

Edited by Isabel Seligman. Preface by Hugo Chapman

Focusing on 56 selected works from the 1970s to today, Pushing paper examines why drawing has endured as a method of making art, and explores the vital and fundamental nature of drawing through themes such as systems and process, identity, place and space, time and memory, and power and protest. These broad themes allow for original connections to be made between images, which will inspire all practitioners of drawing. Supported by the Bridget Riley Art Foundation, the book showcases work by major contemporary artists from around the world.

Published to accompany the exhibition Pushing paper: Contemporary drawing from 1970 to now at the British Museum from 12 September 2019 to 12 January 2020.
