Something Else Entirely, the Illustration Art of Edward Gorey Exhibition Is Now Open

This past weekend Something Else Entirely, The Illustration Art of Edward Gorey opened at The Society of Illustrators in New York City. This much anticipated exhibition showcases 108 original artworks by Edward Gorey, the majority of which have never been displayed publicly before. Offering a fresh perspective on the artist's fifty year career as a commercial artist, the works on display include pen & ink drawings, color pieces, sketches, and hand rendered lettering. 

Visitors to the gallery are greeted by a wall sized mural reproducing Gorey's drop curtain from his 1994 production of Amphigorey.Visual treasures fill the gallery walls, and because these are illustrations for books, periodicals, and ephemera each piece has its own story to tell.
