A fantastic, strange, and mysterious world, real and imagined, is featured in Awake in the Dream World, a mid-career retrospective of artist and bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger. Book art, works on paper and paintings reflect her captivating narrative talent and her confrontations with life, mortality and magic. Niffenegger's artist's books are presented in depth - including aquatints, lithographs and letterpress prints that illustrate surreal characters in murky and romantic settings.

Reviews for Awake in the Dream World: The Art of Audrey Niffenegger

Spare, fable-like narratives featuring betrayals and metamorphoses, with touches of Aubrey Beardsley and Egon Schiele… As well as strange self-portraits and recent drawings on the themes of birth, death and books. -- Erica Wagner * New Statesman *
