The Drawing Site to Retire Soon. Look for Michael Miller Old Master Drawings.

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Launched in 1998, shortly after its sister site, Drawing Materials and Techniques, The Drawing Site, originally the Web presence of Michael Miller Lucy Vivante Fine Arts, Inc., also received About.com’s “Best of the Net” Award for September 1999. The site has been altered little since then and looks its age. It will retire, perhaps to reemerge in some new form, but its original purpose as a center for knowledge on master drawings of all periods and as a source for collectors will pass on to Michael Miller Old Master Drawings [http://oldmasterdrawings.net], which is still under construction.

As at The Drawing Site I shall offer research, publications, curatorial services, exhibitions, consultation for collectors and institutions, and buy and sell master drawings of all periods, as well as other works of art.

Please come by to pay your last respects. There is something new on offer there, a curious and very fine American calligraphic drawing, made in 1854, to honor the marriage or Lavinia and Wesley Hill.
