SUMMARY:Members–Only Tour: Rare Bookbindings at the Grolier Club
DESCRIPTION:Poster House Members are invited to a private tour of two shows at the Grolier Club\, Judging a Book By Its Cover: Bookbindings from the Collections of the Grolier Club\, 1470s–2020 and Language\, Decipherment\, and Translation\, led by Eve Kahn. \nThe first exhibition highlights seven centuries’ worth of rare bookbindings\, exploring the history of decorating bindings\, bookbindings as art objects\, what makes a binding especially collectible\, and the Grolier’s role in commissioning fine bindings. Prepare to be dazzled by changing techniques\, aesthetics\, and materials from Renaissance-era animal-skin bindings\, studded with silver coins and precious stones\, to Arts and Crafts embroidered examples and recent experiments in gilded polychrome and tinted plastic. \nThe second exhibition looks at how information has been conveyed and misinterpreted in various languages\, from 16th-century scholarly tomes attempting to decode hieroglyphics through contemporary book artists’ meditations on medieval Arabic calligraphy and American slang.  \nThese tours will take place at the Grolier Club\, located at 47 E 60th St\, New York\, NY 10022. Space is limited.
