| But, amazingly, the exhibit also included the ACTUAL FINISHED ARTWORK for this pop-up! The artwork, created with colored pencil and air brush, is a real coup for any collector.
|
Any collector hopes within their lifetime to acquire one of the rarest pieces in pop-up history. This is Lothar Meggendorfer’s "International Circus."

| The stunning pop-up diorama is so rare because its many delicate pieces would obviously be much loved (and handled!) by any child.
|
Contemporary books also played a big role in the exhibition with cases full of well-known titles, such as "The Human Body."
|
Silly and serious books found both space and recognition and this well-selected show. One of Robert's favorite pop-up books "Robot" is shown at lower left.

| Artist's books are an important part of the history of pop-up and movables. These editions are usually created in very small print runs, sometimes with only one book being made!
|
Even oddly shaped books had a place in the exhibit! This carousel book is not only beautiful in the quality of its illustrations, but sublime in its unique shape.
|
Both young and old were mesmerized by the delightful treats found at the Sojourner Truth Library at the State University of New York, New Paltz!
