“Drop Dead Gorgeous” is a traveling exhibition featuring recreations of an avant-garde French book circa 1913, "La Prose du Transsibérien." The book was meticulously researched and faithfully recreated by Kitty Maryatt of Two Hands Press, who then had 24 internationally-recognized bookbinders create their own fine binding interpretations.
On view Friday, February 21 to Thursday, April 30, 2020
Free and open to the public weekdays 9:00 am-4:00 pm, Saturdays 10:00 am-2:00 pm, and by appointment.
