Out of Print: Innovations of 19th- and 20th-Century Printmaking from the Collection of Phoenix Art Museum and the Schorr Collection

Out of Print: Innovations of 19th- and 20th-Century Printmaking from the Collection of Phoenix Art Museum and the Schorr Collection explores the history of printmaking in Europe and the United States through more than 50 works by Paul Klee, Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg, Käthe Kollwitz, Mary Cassatt, Faith Ringgold, Fritz Scholder, Keith Haring, Paul Cézanne, Edvard Munch, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, and more.

Amassed over four decades by the Lewis family, the United Kingdom-based Schorr Collection is considered one of the most important collections of Old Master and 19th-century paintings in the world. The collection features more than 400 works, including tender 15th-century devotional images, 19th-century French Impressionist landscapes, works by 20th-century Modern Masters, and a wide selection of prints. To increase access to these significant artworks, the Lewis family often shares them with public museums on a long-term basis, and in 2017, Phoenix Art Museum welcomed a selection to bring to Arizona audiences.

This exhibition showcases an assortment of works from the renowned Schorr Collection in conversation with those from the European and American art collections of Phoenix Art Museum, a wide selection of which have never before been exhibited.
