Public Tour - Paper Vault: A Family Affair (Pt. 1)

Drawing from the Blanton’s collection of historical European art, A Family Affair presents prints, drawings, and paintings created by some of the continent’s most fascinating artistic families, revealing patterns of inspiration, rivalry, and changing family fortunes. Through close looking and conversation, we will make meaningful connections to the works of art on display in our latest Paper Vault Exhibition.
