jonathan bober is the curator of this new exhibit whigh he says is the most extensive ever in showing the wealth of prints in the blanton’s collection. he’s been with this collection for some 20 years now and is presenting the works in a tantalizing new way which promises to be entertaining and instructive. i learned tons in the interview (jonathan is soooo articulate!) and i anxiously await my first visit. i’m sure it’s going to take several to do it justice.
