We're back from the St. Louis Fine Print, Rare Book, And Paper Arts
Fair, at the University of Missouri--St. Louis. It was sponsored by the St.
Louis Mercantile Library.
This fair has an unusual ebb and flow, and this
year it was heavier on art than I remember from other years. Of course one of the
huge advantages of an institutionally sponsored event is the presence of the
staff and here the Library’s director John Hoover, curator Julie Dunn-Morton, and
several of their colleagues, were in attendance. Their support is hugely
appreciated by both visitors and vendors alike.
This year we featured recent acquisitions
such as lithographs and intaglios by Karl Schrag, our favorite Thomas Hart
Benton print, The Race, 1942, and works by Peggy Bacon, William Baziotes, and
Stanley William Hayter.
The link below to the UMSL site features a 2015
interview with Julie Dunn-Morton and ST. Thanks to SL for identifying the
musical introduction as Morton Gould's Pavanne, part of his American
Symphonette No. 2, composed in 1939.
