Join curatorial assistant Casey Monahan for an in-depth discussion about a dynamic display of ball invitations, advertisements, trade cards, and currency notes in the special exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment, on view until January 15, 2023. Monahan will share insights about the acquisition of these small prints and the story behind their creative installation in the exhibition.
Featuring approximately 150 works on paper and other related objects, Dare to Know explores how the graphic arts inspired, shaped, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the Enlightenment era by encouraging individuals to follow their own reason when seeking to know more. An illustrated catalogue with 26 thematic essays—an A to Z exploration of the Enlightenment quest for understanding and change—accompanies the exhibition.
Led by:
Casey Monahan, Cunningham Curatorial Assistant for the Collection, Division of European and American Art
