About the event
This summer, the Morgan Library & Museum unveils Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings, a groundbreaking exhibition running from June 27, 2025, to January 4, 2026. It marks the first comprehensive museum presentation dedicated entirely to Yuskavage’s drawings—offering a rare window into the visionary mind behind some of contemporary art’s most provocative and technically masterful works.
Spanning over three decades of artistic evolution, the exhibition will showcase:
Sketches and finished drawings ranging from the early 1990s to the present
A vast array of materials and techniques—graphite, pastel, charcoal, watercolor, gouache, ink, monotype, and more
An immersive layout within the Thaw Gallery, reflecting the artist’s evolving dialogue between figure, material, and narrative space
This introspective and experimental body of work reveals Yuskavage’s radical approach to image-making, where imagination, psychology, and craft converge to shape a new kind of fictional reality—simultaneously intimate and expansive.
