As the curator of The Strange World of Albrecht Dürer and the guest judge of the “Name This Beast” contest, I want to thank everyone who entered a name (or two or three!) for Dürer’s many-headed beast.
I had a blast reading your fabulous names during my lunch break on Friday. We had 67 entries, and they were so great that I couldn’t stop at just one winner, so I chose one winner and six runners up in honor of our friend’s seven heads.
The runners up:
Susan St. Pierre—Horrosept
Michael Eade—Siebenkönigausländerischmonströs
Lisa Paris—Fred
César Cn—Blasphenomenon
Richard Johnson—Revelalypse
Laura Szczepanik—Monstercolia I
and our grand-prize winner is…
Christine Ciskowski, who has named the beast
Sir Ravenous
Congratulations to all, and hope you’ll come meet Sir Ravenous in person!
—Jay A. Clarke, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs
It was so fun to participate in the contest!!! … I couldn’t resist in participating and concocted a name for the Dürer monster… I want to express how much I value the Clark’s exhibitions as informative inspirations into my own studio work.

Big congratulations to Christine!
So happy to have made a runner up spot 🙂
