Audubon, Then and Now

August 3 – November 25, 2018

Opening Party: August 3rd from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Purchase tickets here

In 1826 at the age of 41, encouraged by his wife, Audubon took his portfolio of 300+ works to England.  Today, more than ever his work endures and segments of his work are right here at the Biggs in Dover. This exhibition examines the importance of the artist and naturalist, John James Audubon, through a large exhibition of his earliest works from both the Birds of America and Viviparous Quadropeds publications. This historical analysis will be coupled with the works of contemporary artists influenced by early naturalists and recorded in an exhibition catalog with color reproductions and essays by leading scholars.

Modern opinions of Audubon’s legacy will also be explored with displays of artworks by living artists influenced by this paragon of 19th century naturalist art. Learn More
