The Clark Library has a newly published digital collection! The Al Székely Collection is now available in UCLA Library Digital Collections and contains watercolors illustrating Wilde’s Dorian Gray.

This set of 16 watercolor illustrations were created by artist Al Székely for Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. These illustrations were never previously published. Each illustration is signed and dated by the artist, and they are housed together in a paper portfolio also illustrated by Székely.

We anticipate adding more Székely materials to the digital collection over time as they are digitized. You can request the item for research at the Clark Library and view the catalog record here.

These watercolors are featured in our current exhibition ‘Queer Kin’ in the Clark Library vestibule. You have one week left to see the exhibition, on view until Friday, September 5th at Clark Library.
