January The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Baya: Woman of Algiers When: January 9–March 31 Where: Grey Art Gallery (100 Washington Square East, Greenwich Village, Manhattan) The Grey Art Gallery is putting on two fascinating and very distinct exhibitions this season. One displays neuroscientist Santiago Ramon y Cajal’s drawings of the brain, which are not only beautiful but remarkably clear and accurate. Eighty of his drawings, which date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, will be shown alongside contemporary visualizations of the brain. The gallery’s second exhibition is devoted to Baya Mahieddine (known as Baya), an Algerian artist who has yet to gain international recognition.

  • Guide to the Bookplate Collections at the Grolier Club Library Grolier

    Guide to the Bookplate Collections at the Grolier Club Library Grolier

    Guide to the Bookplate Collections at the Grolier Club Library Grolier Club Bookplate Collection, ca. 1896-present (11 boxes) The Grolier Club Bookplate Collection is an “artificial collection” compiled by Club librarians from ca. 1896 to the present day. Most of the bookplates were (and are) acquired through donations from Grolier Club members, bookplate designers, and bookplate collectors. Club librarian Ruth S. Granniss actively solicited donations during her tenure (1905-1944). After her retirement, George L. McKay continued to build the collection on a more limited scale. After 1956, there was no significant activity until Charles Antin solicited donations for an exhibition of members’ bookplates in November 1976 by the Committee on Modern Fine Printing. The Grolier Club Librarian continues to add individual and small groups of bookplates to the collection as they are received from members and others. Larger collections of bookplates, when compiled by a single individual or corporate body, are cataloged by the present librarian (and some of her predecessors) in the spirit of “respect des fonds.” Scope and Contents The collection consists of over 4,200 bookplates, dating from ca. 1700 to the present. It also includes correspondence from 1895-1977, as well as approximately 700 signed proofs donated by notable engravers of the 20th century, including Edwin Davis French and Sidney Lawton Smith. Organization and Arrangement Bookplates are arranged by designer where possible, by owner, or by type. There are two series of correspondence, one representing the collecting efforts of Grolier Club librarians, the other relating to the 1976 exhibition by Charles Antin and the Grolier Club Committee on Modern Fine Printing.
