The New York Academy of Art was developed in the 1980s by a devoted group of artists and art patrons, including Warhol, to promote and preserve skills training in drawing, painting and sculpture. Warhol was himself the product of a classical art education and a deep believer in the necessity of foundational training. Drawings in\u00a0Andy Warhol: By Hand<\/em>\u00a0date from 1948 to 1985 and are from the private collections of dealers\u00a0Daniel Blau,\u00a0Paul Kasmin\u00a0and\u00a0Anton Kern. The works from the Blau collection have been exhibited in Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany, and the New York Academy of Art exhibition marks their debut in the United States. The works in\u00a0Andy Warhol By Hand<\/em>\u00a0are not presented chronologically, but are grouped thematically, with themes including drawings of children, nudes and portraits (including self-portraits).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Andy Warhol By Hand<\/em>\u00a0takes a closer look at Warhol\u2019s personal drawing practice, developed as an art student and kept up for decades, and the subjects reflect many of the artist\u2019s frequent themes, from classic American iconography to the mystique of celebrity to himself. \u201cIt is important for people to know the vital role drawing played in Andy Warhol\u2019s life as an artist. By focusing only on Andy\u2019s drawings, this exhibition is a way to highlight without distraction Andy\u2019s innovative process and experimentation which encompassed pen and ink, ballpoint pen, blotted line, graphite, and acrylic paint,\u201d Vincent Fremont noted.<\/p>\n
