What: “Reformations: Dürer & the New Age of Print” is the University of San Francisco's (USF) latest art exhibit showcasing an impressive and historically important grouping of early European books and prints by German artist Albrecht Dürer, regarded by many as the greatest artist of the Northern Renaissance.
When: January 26 – February 22, 2015
Where: Thacher Gallery located in Gleeson Library – Geschke Center (Golden Gate Ave. and Parker Ave.) on the USF campus.
Why: The University of San Francisco’s Mary and Carter Thacher Gallery & Donohue Rare Book Room have partnered with the Masters in Museum Studies program for a student-curated exhibition that focuses on the earliest moments of print and printed book culture in Europe.
“Reformations” highlights how the new production and circulation of early prints and printed books, including devotional woodcuts, humanist texts, pamphlets, and fine, collectible prints, reflects and contributed to religious and cultural change during a transformative period in Western history.
