New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies has organized a symposium, “Reconsidering Works on Paper,” Saturday, March 3, from 12:30 to 5:30 pm. The symposium will examine the dramatic shift in recent years as paper-based works have become dominant modes of expression in contemporary art practice on par with painting and sculpture. Curators from MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Morgan Library are among the panelists in this three-part discussion.

Fair hours will be Friday, noon to 8 pm; Saturday and Sunday, noon to 7 pm; and Monday, 11 am to 5 pm.
