Exhibit: MR 50: Celebrating Fifty Years of Covers
The Massachusetts Review, a quarterly of literature, the arts, and public affairs, celebrates its 50th anniversary with an exhibition of original art from over thirty MR covers selected from each decade, focusing on photography and works-on-paper. Also on display are the covers from every issue - all five decades of them - as a sort of timeline. Historical ephemera, letters, broadsides, and off-prints are showcased at the UMass W.E.B. Du Bois Library in conjunction with the University Gallery exhibition.
The curators of this exhibition are MR art editors Christin Couture and Oriole Farb Feshbach and MR art director Pamela Glaven. Retired New York Times art critic Grace Glueck has written an essay for the brochure.
There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, April 22 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the University Gallery.
