Art museums are full of games hiding in plain sight. We’ll uncover the games lurking in the prints displayed in the exhibition "States of Play: Prints from Rembrandt to Delsarte, as well as the collections at large. Spanning more than three centuries, the works in "States of Play: Prints from Rembrandt to Delsarte" unveil the layers of creative revision, correction, and adjustment behind finished prints. Central to this process is the concept of a “print state,” which traditionally refers to a version of a print that precedes the final product. By decoding creative choices that the artist pursued or abandoned in each successive step, the exhibition helps uncover the full breadth of experimentation and demystifies printmaking terminology and techniques.
