Description

Witness the life and times of the Rosenbach brothers, preeminent rare-book and decorative art dealers in the first half of the last century through the eyes of award winning graphic novelist Ben Katchor and composer and singer Mark Mulcahy. Mixing projected animated images with live singers and musicians, the show explores the obsessive nature of collecting, the relation between cultural and commercial pursuits and the men’s significance as owners of some of the world’s greatest literary treasures.
