the exhibition

the red book of c.g. jung Creation of a New Cosmology October 7, 2009 – January 25, 2010

During the First World War Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration he called a “confrontation with the unconscious.” At the heart of this exploration was The Red Book, a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. The manuscript, which consists of calligraphic script in both Latin and Jung’s native German and incredible painted illustrations, contains the kernel of his later work. This exhibition marks the first public presentation of Jung’s Red Book, possibly the most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology. The Red Book of C.G. Jung is made possible in part by contributions from the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association, New York and the International

Association for Analytical Psychology, and by grants from the Oswald Family Foundation and the Ann & Erlo Van Waveren Foundation, Inc.
