Barry McGee. Untitled from Drypoint on Acid. 2006. Etching and aquatint with chine collé and collage addition from a portfolio of seven drypoints with chine collé (three with collage additions), one drypoint and aquatint with chine collé and collage additions, one etching with chine collé and spraypaint additions, and one etching and aquatint with chine collé and collaged screenprint additions. The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Ann and Lee Fensterstock Fund. © 2023 Barry McGee Image description: A line-drawn etching of a man with his head tilted back to look upward. Above him is an almond-shaped collage filled with tiny, sparkly silver and dark red triangles. His hair is short and smooth against his long head, under eye bags sagging and mouth agape in a wide slim oval. His tiny round ears sit proportionately low on his head, just above the suggestion of his shoulders fade out to the muted green background.

Art inSight is a program for individuals who are blind or have low vision and their guests. Staff educators highlight specific themes, artists, or exhibitions through verbal description, multisensory experiences, and discussion.

This in-person program offers the chance to explore the exhibition New Ground: Jacob Samuel and Contemporary Etching with curator Esther Adler and curatorial assistant Margarita Lizcano Hernandez. Master printer and publisher Jacob Samuel has brought etchings—prints created by transferring ink from a metal plate to paper—into the 21st century through collaborations with more than 60 contemporary artists. Together we will learn about the flexibility of etching and its reinvention for a contemporary world through Samuel’s printmaking tools and processes.

Art inSight is free of charge. Space is limited and preregistration is required. Registration opens on January 9, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.
