Something Else Entirely, The Illustration Art of Edward Gorey Exhibition

The centennial celebrations honoring Edward Gorey continue with Something Else Entirely, The Illustration Art of Edward Gorey at the Society of Illustrators in New York City from October 4, 2025 through January 3, 2026. Featuring an in-depth section of over 80 pieces of original art, this will be the largest exhibition of original artworks by Edward Gorey since the critically acclaimed Elegant Enigmas traveling exhibition. The official Exhibition Opening Reception will be held on Thursday October 16th.

Focusing on Mr. Gorey's five decades long career as an illustrator, Something Else Entirely shines a spotlight on Mr. Gorey's illustrative collaborations with a wide variety of authors, publishers, and periodicals. Curated from the archives of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust, San Diego State University and several noted private collections, many of the works included in the exhibition have never before been publicly displayed. 

Located at 128 East 63rd Street in New York City, The Society of Illustrators was founded in 1901 and has year-round themed exhibitions featuring classic and contemporary illustration art. The Society also conducts educational programs and juried  competitions.
