A devoted fan and “Mad Men” encyclopedia, Parrott has created displays – which will probably stay up through the end of the month – that reference the show’s attention to detail and insistence on accurately portraying the era in which the series is set.

If you have the opportunity, walk by today and view the vintage print ads from the library’s collection – which was started in 1915 and has 1.2 million images – that are tacked on the walls (several are directly linked to the show’s plots), as well as the many other interesting items in each window’s display.

Additionally, The Morgan has an exhibition of artist Dan Flavin’s drawings opening tomorrow, Friday, February 17.

Best known for his groundbreaking fluorescent light installations, Dan Flavin (1933-1996) was also an avid draftsman and collector of drawings. The show includes more than one hundred drawings by the artist — from early abstract expressionist watercolors of the 1950s and portraits and landscape sketches, to studies for his seminal light installations and late pastels of sailboats. In addition, the exhibition will feature nearly fifty works from Flavin’s personal collection of drawings, including nineteenth-century American landscapes by Hudson River School artists, Japanese drawings, and twentieth-century works by artists such as Piet Mondrian, Donald Judd, and Sol LeWitt.

The exhibition will be on view through July 1, 2012.

“The world knows Dan Flavin through the iconic fluorescent light installations on which his reputation rests,” said William M. Griswold, director of The Morgan Library & Museum. “But few people are aware that these magnificent pieces often began as sketches, schematic drawings, and diagrams on graph paper. Throughout his career, Flavin returned to drawing to explore new ideas and new themes, and collected drawings by old and modern masters to serve as sources of inspiration. The Morgan is delighted to present this first-ever retrospective look at the key role that drawing played in the creative process of one of the twentieth-century’s most innovative artists.”
