Suzanne Karr Schmidt
Suzanne Karr Schmidt is the George Amos Poole III Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts at the Newberry. Her book, Interactive and Sculptural Printmaking in the Renaissance, appeared with Brill in 2017. She last wrote for Fine Books & Collections in 2011 about Altered and Adorned: Using Renaissance Prints in Daily Life, an exhibition she curated at the Art Institute of Chicago.
