Additional information
Have you ever wondered about the tiny, stamped marks that are often seen on prints and drawings? They are called collectors’ marks: unique stamps or inscriptions that signal ownership. The marks range from initials to coats of arms, animals, plants, and celestial bodies, and they offer important clues in tracing part of the provenance, or history of ownership, of the works. Curator Miriam Stewart will discuss the marks and their collectors and will introduce a fascinating published catalogue of over 6,000 known marks.
