Exhibition: "The Grolier Club Collects II"
December 9, 2015-February 6, 2016.
Location: The Grolier Club,  47 East 60th Street,  New York, NY 10022

NOW OPEN IN OUR GROUND FLOOR GALLERY: "The Grolier Club Collects II," on view December 9, 2015-February 6, 2016. Behind every great collection lies a great story. That was the premise of the first Grolier Club Collects show in 2002/2003, and a dozen years later it remains the central idea of The Grolier Club Collects II, a gathering of books, manuscripts and works on paper drawn from the international membership of the Grolier Club. Reflecting the breadth and quality of those members' varied collecting interests, the exhibition encompasses medieval manuscripts and early printed books as well as contemporary literature; rarities ranging from Old Master drawings and prints, to nineteenth- and twentieth-century posters, cartoons and ephemera to livres d'artiste, children's books, book objects, and photographs. Each object comes with a tale, written by the collector, describing how and when the book, manuscript, or print was acquired, under what circumstances, how it fits (or does NOT fit) into an overall collecting scheme and-most importantly-why it is precious to the collector.
