Backstage with Edward Gorey: A Centennial Exhibition
April 5 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The Cartoon Art Museum is proud to present Backstage with Edward Gorey: A Centennial Exhibition, a selection of original drawings and ephemera created by this extraordinary artist-author who was also a playwright, stage designer, and director. The works on display are drawn from the collection of Gorey’s longtime friend and collaborator Carol Verburg, author of the lavish new art biography The Theatrical Adventures of Edward Gorey: Rare Drawings, Scripts and Stories (Chronicle Books, 2024).
Backstage with Edward Gorey opens with an eventful soiree on Saturday April 5, 2025 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, part of the Cartoon Art Museum’s yearlong celebration of Gorey’s remarkable career between his birth in 1925 and death in 2000.
