THE GROLIER CLUB OF NEW YORK was one of the first organizations in America to treat books and prints as objects worthy of display, on a par with painting and sculpture. In its 125-year history the Club has organized more than five hundred such exhibitions on topics ranging from Blake to Kipling, from chess to murder mysteries, from Japanese prints to Art Nouveau posters. There are four shows a year in the main ground floor gallery, all open to the public free of charge. In addition, the Club mounts each year a number of smaller-scale (but equally interesting) exhibitions featuring the collections of Grolier Club members. While generally private, at the discretion of the collector these shows are occasionally opened to the public: see below for more details.
