The Paul J. Sachs Drawings Galleries, third floor

Press Viewing Hour: Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 9:30–10:30 a.m.

Glossolalia: Languages of Drawing features some 100 works from the collection, many on view for the first time at the Museum. The exhibition includes the work of outsider and self-taught artists as well as that of contemporary artists who share an idiosyncratic visual vocabulary or a unique approach to their medium. The term “glossolalia” refers to the phenomenon of speaking a language that is undecipherable to all but the speaker. The exhibition is organized by Connie Butler, The Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings, and Esther Adler, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Drawings, The Museum of Modern Art.
