When he wasn't writing and illustrating his own darkly humorous and anachronistic books, Edward Gorey often lent his dexterous hand and moribund imagination to others. Examples of his collaborations include illustrations for authors such as John Bellairs, and, perhaps most famously, the animated title sequence to PBS' Mystery! series. This intimate exhibit of Malcolm and Karen Whyte's collection of Gorey-related printed matter offers a vision of the artist as a hungry, prolific bibliophile, paying particular attention to his love of unusual formats (including accordion, pop-up, and flip books). Unsurprisingly, most betray an appropriately Gothic sensibility.
