Such a Big Dream: Edward S. Curtis at 150--Exhibit Checklist

Abstract

A checklist of the items displayed for a University of Minnesota Libraries exhibit on Edward S. Curtis, mounted in the Elmer L. Andersen Library Gallery and on the second and third floor concourses, from October 8, 2018 to January 18, 2019. “It’s such a big dream, I can’t see it all,” is what Edward S. Curtis said of his master work, The North American Indian, published between 1907 and 1930. Curated by Curtis expert Christopher Cardozo, Special Collections and Rare Books curator Timothy Johnson, Cardozo Fine Art’s studio manager, Peter Bernardy, and designed by Darren Terpstra, this exhibit highlights not only this work, but also examines Curtis’s life and the impact he had on photography.
