Collection: Exhibition Invitation Cards
Invitation and announcement cards were printed to open an exhibition and mailed to a gallery's list, made to be read once and put aside. The ones that survive record who showed where and when, and many carry an image chosen for the show. The New Rare holds cards from galleries and museums in Paris, London, New York and beyond, from 1922 to now, each catalogued with its own register number and condition.
