Please join the Friends of the Print & Picture Collection for an exhibition tour, led by Judith Tannenbaum, curator of Word & Image: Contemporary Artists Connect to Fraktur. Word & Image is an exhibition which reinterprets and reframes traditional fraktur through a contemporary lens. Word & Image features the work of seven international artists: Marian Bantjes (Canada), Anthony Campuzano (United States), Imran Qureshi (Pakistan), Elaine Reichek (United States), Bob and Roberta Smith (United Kingdom), and Gert and Uwe Tobias (Romania/Germany). Each of the contemporary artists uses text or type as a visual component of their work to convey particular subject matter about his or her own culture and identity.
