DACO Book Launch and Signing!

November 17 @ 2:00 pm 4:00 pm

Celebrate the release of exhibition curator Caitlin McGurk’s Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund (Fantagraphics, 2024). In her book, McGurk honors the life and art of pioneering cartoonist Barbara Shermund, whose career spanned the heyday of American magazines and helped shape the visual style of The New Yorker. Shermund lived an alternative lifestyle for a woman of her era and was deeply private. The book rightfully places Shermund in the canon of cartoon art history and is a beautiful compendium of Shermund’s artwork. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Please let the Decorative Arts Center know if you plan on attending the book launch by registering.​​

This event is part of the Decorative Art Center of Ohio’s exhibit, Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund, funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite grant! The exhibit is open from September 21-December 29.
