➤ MORGAN LIBRARY,, from p.30
is Stevenson’s “The Strange Case of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” from 1885,
a letter from “Pride and Prejudice”
author Jane Austen (1775-1817) to
her sister, and a pop-up fairytale
book created by the contemporary
artist Kara Walker entitled “Freedom,”
about racial and sexual
violence in the life of an emancipated
female slave. A companion
exhibition, “Speak, Act, Vote, Resist:
Citizen Voices from The Gilder
Lehrman Collection,” features artifacts
spanning the history of social
justice mobilization in the US,
from abolition to suffrage to civil
rights to Stonewall.
The Morgan has no shortage
of holdings of LGBTQ literary or
historical interest. For instance,
in 2013, it acquired the collection
of the photographer Peter Hujar,
comprising some 100 photographs,
plus contact sheets and
assorted memorabilia, chronicling
“the public unfolding of gay life in
the 1970s,” the economic decline of
New York City, and the artist’s own
biography (he died of AIDS in 1987
at age 53).
On permanent display is a terracotta
bust by the artist Jo Davidson
of the Morgan’s first librarian
and director, Belle da Costa Greene
(1879–1950). Greene was a lightskinned
African American woman
who passed for white throughout
her career in order to get the
chance to contribute her considerable
expertise in to an institution
that would otherwise have barred
her.
“I want our visitors be introduced
to figures and movements
both familiar and unfamiliar, historical
and contemporary,” said
Bailey. “I want them to be inspired
by these precious physical traces
of the great achievements in the
Western tradition, from medieval
to modern times. We are a place
where hearts and minds can take
wing and soar.”
