This year marks the centenary of Edward Gorey’s birth and the 25th anniversary of his death. The artist specialized in small works that often combined writing and illustration. Gorey, who loved ballet, lent his fame and dark, fanciful style to commercial products that promoted the New York City Ballet. This display highlights pieces from the Libraries' Suzy Conway and Robert M. Conway Collection of Gorey Ephemera. The exhibit showcases Gorey’s engagement with ballet in his distinctive noir style.

This exhibit is curated by Rachel Bohlmann, American History Librarian and Curator. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment.

All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.
