THE WORLD’S LARGEST SHEET MUSIC: publisher—and Guardian Fine Art Service—the Midwest’s premier art services company. With these sponsors and other partners, this unique show explores sixty years of American culture through the lens of sheet music’s vibrant visual and musical history.Curated by art and cultural historians Annemarie Sawkins, PhD, and Martha Chaiklin, PhD., this novel exhibition brings together over 50 original examples of illustrated sheet music, vintage instruments, and original audio recordings spanning six transformative decades in American history.
From Dixieland jazz to vaudeville hits, dance crazes, and postwar pop sung by legends like Les Paul and Frank Sinatra, the exhibition reveals how sheet music not only reflected, but shaped, America’s evolving identity. Visitors will discover the powerful visual language of cover art inspired by everything from wartime patriotism to the marvels of modern transportation.
