Hirshhorn Artist Diaries

This living archive captures the responses of contemporary international artists to the pandemic in their own voices. Every week, we share diary-style videos that will become part of the Hirshhorn’s record of the impact of the global pandemic on artists, their art-making practices, and views of the world.

Follow and respond with #HirshhornInsideOut, an ongoing effort to share our artworks, expertise, and public programming at a time when the Museum’s campus is temporarily closed.

“We hold physical and digital artifacts in a variety of formats, including books, periodicals, posters, sketches, original art for reproduction, and related ephemera, as well as a robust reference library.

After you’ve browsed the highlights from the homepage, we encourage you to use the search filters: click on each category to explore disciplines like lettering, and formats like type specimens, or combine filters like decades and countries to narrow your view to a specific time and place.
