Une paire de gourdes nivernaises pour Sèvres
The Musée national de Céramique in Sèvres has acquired a significant pair of 17th-century Nevers faïence pilgrim flasks, or 'gourdes nivernaises,' through the Parisian gallery Camille Leprince. The acquisition enhances the museum's already notable collection of Nevers ceramics from that period.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln Libraries will host an exhibition titled “The Muck, the Seeds, the Weeds, the Blossoming: The Journals of Karen Blessen,” featuring 24 personal journals donated by the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic artist and UNL alumna. Opening September 18 and running through February 2026 on the second-floor link of Love Library, the show marks the first public display of Blessen’s journals, which span 2013 to 2022 and offer intimate insight into her creative process, personal struggles, and artistic strategies. The exhibition team includes Camilo Sanchez, curator of exhibitions at the International Quilt Museum, who designed the installation.
