Join us for an open house featuring two important works from the history of rainbows and color not included in the exhibit Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color.
We recently acquired a pristine first edition of Josef Albers's beautiful color theory manual, The Interaction of Color, published by Yale in 1963. We also added Kitty Maryatt's painstakingly perfect facsimile of Sonia Delaunay's rainbow-colored masterpiece, La Prose Transsibérien.
The event will be hosted by the exhibit's curator, Jamie Vander Broek, and informal tours of the exhibit will be available in the adjacent Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room.
