Where: National Gallery of Art Library, East Building
When: through January 5, 2018
The Library at the NGA has another small display in the glass cases in the library reading room. So lovely to escape the crowds and look at some of their holdings. The current offerings are examples of woodcuts, including one of Durer's (hooray). These are pieces from the apogee of woodcuts as an art form, and if you are a fan of woodcuts, or a student of art history, this is worth seeing.
Verdict: Probably for the hardcore art historian, but also a way to become acquainted with the medium.
