The Whitworth is one of only two UK 2022 recipients of a prestigious Getty Foundation Award<\/a>. Created in 2018, The Paper Project funds a variety of projects by curators around the world who study prints and drawings, simultaneously boosting their professional development and bringing new discoveries about works on paper to light.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Working alongside University of Manchester colleagues Edward Wouk, Stefan Han\u00df and Sasha Handley, curator Imogen Holmes-Roe is the Whitworth\u2019s project lead for a collaborative exhibition and publication on Albrecht D\u00fcrer\u2019s prints and the material culture of Renaissance Germany at the gallery.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Whitworth hosts a major collection of D\u00fcrer\u2019s work, with an exhibition currently in the planning stages. Albrecht D\u00fcrer\u2019s Material World<\/em> will open in 2023 and is the first major exhibition of the Whitworth\u2019s outstanding D\u00fcrer collection<\/a> in over half a century.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Albrecht D\u00fcrer\u2019s Material World<\/a><\/em> is a collaborative, international and co-curated research and exhibition project which will offer a new perspective on D\u00fcrer as an intense observer of the worlds of manufacture, design, and trade that fill his graphic art.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Imogen said: \u201cI am absolutely delighted that the Whitworth has been selected as one of only 15\u00a0art institutions worldwide to receive one of the Getty Foundation\u2019s Paper Project grants for 2022.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAlbrecht D\u00fcrer\u2019s Material World<\/em> represents a major development in my professional ambitions as Curator (Historic Fine Art) at a leading university art gallery. It will advance my future work in researching, interpreting, exhibiting, and developing the Whitworth\u2019s world-class collection of historic prints and drawings. This exhibition represents my first opportunity to work across the fields of history and art history with an international interdisciplinary research team based in the UK, Europe, and Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The exhibition and accompanying publication (to be published by Manchester University Press) will draw on the expertise of a team of Manchester-based and international researchers who have been examining D\u00fcrer\u2019s art from the perspective of material culture studies for over three years. The team comprises established D\u00fcrer scholars, art historians, and historians of material culture: The University of Manchester scholars Edward Wouk, Sasha Handley, Stefan Han\u00df and Whitworth Curator (Historic Fine Art) Imogen Holmes-Roe are joined\u00a0by Australian and European researchers Jennifer Spinks, Matthew Champion, Dagmar Eichberger and Charles Zika. Together, they have planned an exhibition that will throw new light on D\u00fcrer\u2019s interface with the material Renaissance.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our Manchester academics Sasha, Stefan and Edward said: \u201cWe are extremely pleased and honoured to be recipients of one of the Getty Paper Project Grants.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a wonderful endorsement of our interdisciplinary project and will enable the exhibition to realise its ambition to showcase the richness of Albrecht D\u00fcrer’s material world with a focus on the outstanding print collection at the Whitworth. Our team, comprising academics at Manchester, Melbourne, and Heidelberg, has been researching this topic for several years.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Getty’s support,\u201d Edward, Sasha, and Stefan say, \u201cthe Whitworth exhibition will be able to reflect the scope of our findings through outstanding loans, important conservation work and technical analysis, and a substantial, co-authored catalogue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Heather MacDonald, senior program officer at the Getty Foundation, said: \u201cThese grants celebrate the resourcefulness of graphic arts curators who are focusing on hidden gems and neglected artists within their institutions\u2019 own walls that can resonate with today\u2019s museum audiences.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also empowering curators to collaborate with conservators and use cutting-edge technology to unlock paper\u2019s material secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n
