Who is the Ex-Libris Huntress?

Hi, I'm Mary Komatsu

Nice to meet!

My name is Mary Komatsu, the creator and administrator of the Ex-libris Hunter channel. I am a librarian and worked at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro from 1986 to 2019. I work as a collaborator in the Network of Libraries and Information Centers in Art - REDARTE/RJ. Among other things I appreciate arts, culture, books, social networks and I love photography and I am passionate about libraries and museums. When I curated the virtual narrative on Ex-libris entitled " Dos Livros: Ex-libris in the MNBA collections" for the MNBA's Google Art Project, I was enchanted by the ex-libris.  From there, I began to work intensively with books that had this mark of provenance in the library and to research more on the subject. Participated in the Project The Eloquence of Books: Marks of Bibliographic Provenance  registered at the Department of Librarianship of UNIRIO and linked to the Research Group "Studies on Bibliographic Heritage" (2018-2020), under the coordination of Prof. Dr Fabiano Cataldo.  

 

 

And that's me,  the Ex-libris Hunter!

The purpose of this channel  is to disseminate, collaborate and share this universe of small works of art that are in libraries, museums and collectors. of art.

My Lattes.
