"Modern Musings": Art books exhibit and lecture at Swarthmore
Modern Musings: Treasures from the Lieberman Collection
McCabe Library lobby, October 24-December 23
Talk by Professor Graham Bader, Tuesday, October 30, 4:15 p.m.
This exhibit, curated by Sarah Burford '08, showcases some of our favorite items from the Lieberman collection. This generous gift from William S. Lieberman '43, prominent curator at the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, comprises thousands of volumes on art, history, literature, and a myriad of other subjects. Lieberman graduated Swarthmore in 1943 with a B.A. in English, and almost immediately embarked on a six-decade career in the art world. The exhibition includes books, catalogs, original prints, and lithographs created or signed by figures such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, W.H. Auden, and Andy Warhol. Lieberman knew many of these artists personally, and the exhibition offers an exciting look at works representative of some of the most important developments in modern artistic culture.
Please join us at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, October 30th, for a talk on the exhibit by visiting Art History Professor Graham Bader. We hope to see you there!
