Ultan; Klug, Shannon; Terpstra, Darren; Peters, JenSelections from the Francis V. Gorman Rare and Special Art Book Collection have been highlighted in annual exhibitions since 2003. These exhibitions have focused on themes such as celebrity culture, graphic design, the history of exhibition catalogs, and the ritual of reading, to suitably and beautifully reveal the rare materials in the collection.

These curatorial contributions will be showcased in this year's retrospective.
