Exhibition examines the mind-bending and mathematical works of M.C. Escher

A new art exhibition featuring the works of world-renowned graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher, M.C. Escher: Infinite Variations, is on view at the World Chess Hall of Fame. The 100+ piece exhibit showcases Escher’s extreme variety of groundbreaking techniques and subjects. The new exhibit displays works from throughout his career—starting with his early Italian landscape sketches, self-portraits and book illustrations to his most iconic images of impossible spaces, tessellations, infinity and his metamorphosis series. The extensive Escher collection occupies 3000 square feet at the WCHOF, while an extension of the show is also on display at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art (SLUMA). “As the lender of these M.C. Escher masterpieces, it gives me great joy to see them on display in Saint Louis for the first time ever,” said
