| Their current exhibition, which closed last month, took place in Plaza Cataluña (The Times Square of Barcelona). Ana and Alvaro have produced catalogs for their exhibits before, but this one is extra special.
|
The catalog has a pop-up in it! The exhibit covers a general history of pop-up and movable books ranging from an antique volvelle constructed from the works of Ramon Llull to Matthew Reinhart's Pop-up Book of Phobias!
|
Space was no problem for this beautifully designed exhibition, which had plenty of cases for Ana and Alvaro's collection.

| The lighting was superb including some cases that even had lights on the inside! These images were all taken moments before crowds mobbed the hall, many seeing pop-up books for the first time in such an elegant setting.
|
In keeping with the theme of history, the Movable Book Society's 10th Anniversary book "Celebration" was placed front and center!
|
Not only were well-known commercial titles displayed, but there were many limited editions as well as artist's books, too.

|
| One case containing the wonders of natural world, including Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart's "Butterflies" and "Beetles" series, was a hit with the kids!
|
Matthew, Ana and Robert in New York City share a moment of pop-up inspired fun!
|
 |
| If you plan on having a pop-up exhibition in the near future please send us images and information and we will be happy to share it with the world! |
