Fall of 2015 marked the 30th anniversary of the List Visual Arts Center, MIT’s renowned contemporary art museum.

In recognition of this historic milestone, the List Center’s four directors since 1985 – Kathy Halbreich, Katy Kline, Jane Farver, and Paul Ha – invited fifteen of the many exceptional artists who have previously exhibited at the List, to provide work for a portfolio that celebrates the critically acclaimed programming presented by the List Center.

We are pleased to offer this impressive portfolio, an edition of 35 with 16 artists proofs, at the price of $15,000. This is an extraordinary collection of contemporary prints, representing an eclectic variety of techniques and styles. 

By purchasing an edition you will support the List’s continuing mission to produce the kind of exemplary exhibitions and programs it has become known for over the past 30 years.

Should you wish to purchase the portfolio, please contact listinfo [at] mit.edu (listinfo[at]mit[dot]edu) for further information.
