Prints evoking three-dimensionality, created by figures of Minimal Art, space art, and light art, could be seen alongside chalk drawings, foldings, and collages by 20th century sculptors. Slits revealing imaginary spaces were juxtaposed with designs for wall pieces. Lithographs depicting Constructivist perspectival representations were displayed alongside embossed prints that emerge out of two-dimensional flatness. It encompassed works by a total of 13 artists, including Lucio Fontana, Eduardo Chillida, Sol LeWitt, Blinky Palermo, James Turrell, and Michael Riedel. The exhibition took visitors on a tour beginning with the geometric compositions created in 1923 by El Lissitzky and László Moholy-Nagy, through to examples of printmaking in contemporary conceptual art. The show examined how such things as delineation, form, and volume, ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ -characteristics that define space and aid orientation -are represented in drawing and printmaking, in essence on flat, two-dimensional surfaces. “Into the Third Dimension: Spatial Concepts on Paper from the Bauhaus to the Present” was shown in the Exhibition Hall of the museum’s Department of Prints and Drawings.
