Printers, Monks & Craftsmen
Price: $7.00
June 10, 2012 10:00am - 06:00pm
This exhibition looks at the transitional period in hand press bookmaking through 14 Bibles printed between 1455 and 1525. As the era progressed, printers and other craftsmen involved in the production of a printed volume began to experiment with the possibilities hand press production afforded to create innovative, elegant books. Focusing on Gothic bindings and the structure of a selection of books drawn from the Rare Bible Collection a MOBIA, conservator Clare Manias explores regional differences in the volumes' styles, production, and form illustrating that printed books have stories to tell and are much more than what's between the covers. Tickets for Seniors and Students $4.00.

Paris Blues Revisited: Romare Bearden, Albert Murray and Sam Shaw
Jazz at Lincoln Center, Frederick P. Rose Hall
Peter Jay Sharp Arcade, 5th Floor Time Warner Center
New York [map]Price: Free
June 10, 2012 10:00am - 11:00pm
Designed as a book-on-the-wall, Paris Blues Revisited presents fine reproductions of collages by Romare Bearden, writing by Albert Murray and photographs by Sam Shaw. Following the Shaw-produced film Paris Blues, these three men decided to improvise their own Paris Blues – a collaborative picture-and-writing book celebrating Paris as well as Duke Ellington, co-composer (with Billy Strayhorn) of the movie's soundtrack and Louis Armstrong, one of that movie's stars. That book was never completed. Here, for the first time, finished pages, some of them unmistakable masterworks, as well as works-in-progress make clear the power of jazz to inspire collaborations of long-lasting beauty.
