THE PRINTED PAGE: SELECTIONS FROM THE ANNA C. HOYT COLLECTION, an extensive exhibition of Old Master and modern prints at The Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery, Link.... It is curated by Joseph Mella, director of the gallery.

In 1956, Vanderbilt University’s permanent collection was founded by a generous gift of 105 Old Master and modern prints from Anna C. Hoyt of Boston. Working with Walter Sharp, professor of fine arts during the department’s early years, Ms. Hoyt assembled an outstanding survey of the medium. A member of the print department staff of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for more than forty years and a prominent collector in her own right, Ms. Hoyt crafted this gift to act as a lesson in the history of printmaking over six centuries.

This is the last exhibition in the Old Gym before the gallery moves to the Cohen Memorial Building in the fall of 2009.
