The Folio Society will mark its 75th anniversary this spring with The Art of Folio, a landmark exhibition at the Society of Illustrators’ Museum of Illustration. It’s the first time Folio has brought its archive and artistry to NYC in this way, celebrating nearly eight decades of exceptional book art with works from 91 celebrated illustrators including Yuko Shimizu, Sam Weber, the Balbusso twins, Jamaal Barber, and Omar Rayyan.
At the heart of the show is a centennial tribute to The Great Gatsby, with Shimizu’s newly illustrated edition having recently debuted this spring. Spanning multiple genres—from sci-fi to YA to contemporary classics—the exhibit will offer a rich narrative of how illustration continues to evolve in the publishing world.
