Members are invited for a reception to celebrate the opening of Robert Motherwell Drawing: As Fast as the Mind Itself. The exhibition traces the full arc of Motherwell’s activity as a draftsman. His multifaceted practice was geared towards invention and variation, and while it evolved stylistically, it remained united by thematic continuities and his desire to draw “as fast as the mind itself.”
