"The Art of the Puzzle: Astounding and Confounding"
2000-10-15 until 2001-01-07
Katonah Museum of Art
Katonah, NY, USA United States of America

This major exhibition should please the whole family: 105 jigsaw puzzles. 237 mechanical puzzles! Each one has its own story. Each one is a challenge. There are beautifully crafted wooden puzzles, tantalizing impossible puzzles, puzzles to hone manual dexterity, vanishing puzzles, and many more.

The second half of this exhibition traces the evolution of the jigsaw puzzle, a long-lived favorite dating from 1760, when a London mapmaker created the first dissected map for teaching geography. Will Shortz, Crossword Editor of The New York Times, prefaces catalogue essays by curators Jerry Slocum and Anne D. Williams.

Major funding for this exhibition was provided by the New York Council for the Humanities.
