Secrets of the Stacks: Where Painting and Sculpture Meet Books

New York is world-famous for its museums and art collections, offering an unrivaled visual experience. Those institutions house equally spectacular libraries of books, monographs and printed material related to artists, their creative processes and their lives. Join Ivy Blackman (Whitney Museum of American Art), Stephen Bury (The Frick Collection) and Bridget O’Keefe (MoMA) for a unique dialogue about what makes museum libraries unique and the secrets in their stacks. Moderated by Adwoa Adusei, Manager, BPL’s Library for Arts & Culture.
