Don’t miss Cecil Beaton, The New York Years at the Museum of the City of New York. If you join MCNY’s Women’s Committee, you will be invited to very special events, and wonderful behind the scenes tours, such as the reception and private viewing on Wednesday, November 16. For information, please contact Karyn Bove at [email protected]. For what to wear to art openings and cocktail receptions, we invariably look to our Little Black Sleeved Dresses that can take you all over town in cozy, sensational style.
From the 1920s through the ‘60s, Manhattan’s artistic and social circles embraced British-born photographer and designer Cecil Beaton (1904-80). Cecil Beaton: The New York Years brings together extraordinary photographs, drawings, and costumes by Beaton to chronicle his impact on the city’s cultural life. Beaton’s relentless energy and curiosity spurred him to pursue new fields, from fashion and portrait photography to costume and scenic design for Broadway, ballet, and opera, and to put his own aesthetic stamp on each of these endeavors.
A beautifully illustrated companion book, written by curator Donald Albrecht and co-published by the Museum and Skira Rizzoli is available for purchase. Get yours today at www.mcny.org.
