Join AHA! for our second program in our Archives Month 2026 lineup! The Menil Library is excited to highlight some of its rare and unique treasures, including a selection of livres d’artistes, focusing on the intersection of art, macabre themes, and surrealism. Featured items include Édouard Manet’s Le Corbeau, a variety of titles written and illustrated by Edward Gorey, a stunning copy of the Limited Editions Club’s publication of The Fall of the House of Usher featuring illustrations by Alice Neel, along with a few other published works related to surrealism.
This program will be led by Donna Török-Oberholtzer. As Associate Librarian for the Menil Collection Library, Donna oversees library operations and stewards the museum’s special collections. Grounded in her experience with painting and printmaking, her work focuses on preserving historical materials, expanding resource accessibility, and supporting research in art history and visual culture.
