Rosenbach Artist-in-Residence Sue Johnson found inspiration for her installation Moore Adventures in Wonderland in the work of author Charles Dodgson, better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll. Dodgson’s curious tale of a young girl named Alice has become an iconic piece of English literature, and A.S.W. Rosenbach’s purchase and sale of the original manuscript caused an international sensation. In this gallery talk we will examine the influence of Dodgson on Ms. Johnson’s work as well as talk about “the man who bought Alice,” Dr. Rosenbach.

This talk is led by Farrar Fitzgerald, Group Tours & Education Coordinator. All gallery talks are included in the price of admission. Reservations are not required.
