Members-Only: Pantzer's J.M.W. Turner Archives with Anastasia Karel and Marina Ito

Members! Join us for an exclusive preview of the Kurt F. Pantzer archival collection in the Stout Reference Library. The display brings together materials from Pantzer’s renowned J.M.W. Turner collection alongside rare books and archival materials. During the preview, you’ll have the opportunity to ask Interim Director of Library and Archives, Anastasia Karel, and Librarian, Marina Ito, about anything in the archives.

Kurt F. Pantzer (1892–1979) was an Indianapolis attorney and avid collector devoted to all things related to J.M.W. Turner. A true collector, he was obsessive in his pursuit of Turnerabilia—anything and everything to do with Turner, his contemporaries, his imitators, and more. Today, the Newfields Archives serve as the repository for Pantzer’s extensive research materials, documenting his lifelong quest.
