10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Perelman Library, Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Museum Library Reading Room, 2nd Floor
Join the Philadelphia Center for the Book and the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers for the Opening of Secondary Colors at the Philadelphia Museum of Art The Museum Library Reading Room.
Twenty-one members of the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Guild of the Book Workers participated in this collaborative book. Each member contributed an edition of sections, exchanged them with other members, and then collated them so the resulting contents of all the books are the same. Each member bound their own book, however, with no two books alike. Two additional books were bound and donated to artists’ book collections and one un-bound copy was auctioned at the Guild of Book Workers annual fundraiser.The books were also exhibited at the Cabot Science Library at Harvard University this past January to May.
Evan Towle, librarian, will also show us some books from the PMA’s collection.
Those interested can gather for lunch afterwards in the Perelman Café.
Please include your interest in staying for lunch (dutch treat) in your RSVP.
