The Limited Editions Club, which was founded in 1929, is one of America’s finest publishers of artist-illustrated limited edition books. Exploring the inspiration of great writers on contemporary artists, this exhibition will feature a selection of recent Limited Edition Club publications, including Willem de Kooning's Seventeen Lithographs for Frank O'Hara (1988); Robert Motherwell's lithographs for the Octavio Paz Suite (1988); Sean Scully's color intaglios accompanying excerpts from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1992); Edward Ranney's photogravures for Heights of Machu Picchu (1999); Dean Mitchell's colored etchings inspired by the writings of Maya Angelou (2003); and photogravures by Duane Michals inspired by the writings of Constantine P. Cavafy (2003). These publications, and others also on view in the exhibition, were recently donated by Sidney Shiff to the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum in honor Ralph Voorhees, a longtime friend to the museum and Rutgers University. The exhibition's curator is Marilyn Symmes, Director and Curator of the museum's Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts.
