Exhibition Details
The Met Museum's Department of Drawings and Prints houses more than one million drawings, prints, and illustrated books made in Europe and the Americas from around 1400 to the present day.
Because of their number and sensitivity to light, the works can only be exhibited for a limited period and are usually housed in on-site storage facilities.

Additional Details
Many of the prints on view were published by the Taller de Gráfica Popular (Workshop of Popular Graphic Art), a printmaking collective founded in 1937 in Mexico City “with the aim of stimulating graphic arts production in the interests of the Mexican people.”
The Pinkowitz material dovetails perfectly with The Met’s collection of Mexican prints and includes works by artists not previously represented.
