The first major exhibition ever to be held in New York to address all aspects of the work of the important British Romantic painter, printmaker, and poet, "William Blake" presents more than 175 works drawn from public and private collections in Britain, the United States, and Australia. The broad range of Blake's artistic and poetic vision is represented, with special attention to his innovative printmaking techniques, his visionary imagination, and the implications of his radical politics for his art.

The exhibition is supported by The Isaacson-Draper Foundation.
The exhibition was organized by Tate Britain.
