2018 Edward Gorey House Exhibition

The Edward Gorey House opens its annual exhibition on Thursday April 12. Murder He Wrote, Edward Gorey and the Art of the Mystery will be on display at until December 30 of this year.

Each year, the Edward Gorey House puts together a unique display of works by and about Mr. Gorey. These themed exhibitions draw on pieces in the Gorey Archives, and also on loans of rare materials from private collectors. Each exhibition is a unique opportunity to view works inside the home where Mr. Gorey created many of his signature works.  

Edward Gorey was an avid murder mystery reader, and he was especially fond of the works of Agatha Christie, to whom he dedicated his 1971 book, The Awdrey-Gore Legacy. Original artwork from this, and several other published works by Mr. Gorey will be displayed in the exhibition. Crimes, both perpetrated and solved, will be explored and revealed. Previously unpublished artwork by Mr. Gorey will be included in the exhibit, giving visitors the added thrill of seeing artwork for the first time. Plan your visit now!
