This image shows a yellowed newspaper clipping titled "Art People" written by Vivien Raynor. The article is dated October 17, 1980, and discusses a new exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art featuring works on paper, including drawings, prints, and photographs. The exhibit is described as being in rooms that have been specifically designed for works on paper, offering a more intimate viewing experience compared to larger painting and sculpture galleries.

The article mentions the work of architect Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates and the museum's vice president for architecture and planning, Arthur Rosenblatt, in overseeing the transformation of the space. It highlights the enthusiasm of the curators over the new galleries and notes that the change will lead to a busier exhibition schedule.

The article also discusses the "Art 1980 New York" art fair, which features mainly dealers in painting, sculpture, prints, and photography. It provides details about the fair's location, dates, and some of the participating dealers. The text is densely packed and spans multiple columns, typical of newspaper articles.

The clipping is placed within a scrapbook or notebook, as indicated by the visible binding and other pages surrounding the clipping. There are handwritten notations on the clipping, including "10/17/80" and "NY Times," indicating the date and source of the article. Additionally, there is a piece of paper with the word "Sotheby's" partially visible at the top left corner of the image.

This image displays an open, aged newspaper or magazine clipping with yellowed pages, pasted into what appears to be a scrapbook or archival binder with a black spine visible on the left. The clipping is positioned on a plain, light gray surface.

The main article, prominently displayed, is titled:
“Art People” by Vivien Raynor

Below this, the subheadline reads:
“A Met nook for works on paper.”

The article discusses an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art called “The Painterly Print,” which focused on monotypes — a printmaking technique — from the 19th to the 20th century. It mentions curators like Arthur Rosenblatt and Colta Ives, the exhibition’s origins with the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, and its funding by the National Endowment of the Arts. The text references artists such as Rembrandt, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, and William Blake, detailing the history and techniques of monotyping with black ink on paper.

Handwritten annotations are visible in the upper right corner of the clipping:

  • “P. 034” — likely indicating the page number in the original publication.
  • “10/17/80” — the date, presumably October 17, 1980.
  • “my file” — indicating the owner’s personal categorization or archival system.

To the right, the adjacent page of the scrapbook contains more clipped text, with a visible partial headline: “From the Page’s ‘sacred symbols of Islam’…” — suggesting other collected articles on various topics.

The physical condition of the paper — its yellowing, slight creases, and the presence of tape or adhesive at the top left — indicates it is a preserved artifact of historical media.

In summary, this is a carefully preserved newspaper clipping from October 1980, documenting an art exhibition on monotypes at the Met, annotated for personal archival purposes.
