Fantastic Illustration
from the Korshak
Collection
November 17, 2017–February 4, 2018
Leslie and Johanna Garfield Galleries
A vision of the fantastic, this exhibition explores the ever-evolving visual landscape of
science fiction and fantasy literature. Featuring original artwork by American and
European artists spanning more than a century, these vivid illustrations bring to life
adventures, beings, and worlds conjured in novels such as Don Quixote and Tarzan,
and pulp magazines including Amazing Stories, Weird Tales, Fantastic Adventures,
and Wonder Stories. Accomplishing far more than simply guiding readers in their
explorations of new and sometimes bizarre realms, the range and impact of these
illustrations is far-reaching.
