A smattering of art-related milestones are happening in New York City.
Interdisciplinary design is very much au courant among fashion designers and influencers alike, but soon one of the female pioneers in the field, Sonia Delaunay, will be the subject of a posthumous retrospective.
Dresses, paintings, playing cards, furniture, mosaics and advertisements were among the many items she created in her lifetime. To showcase that agility, the Bard Graduate Center will unveil “Sonia Delaunay: Living Art” on Feb. 23. Nearly 200 objects will be on view in the exhibition that will canvas the painter-artisan-fashion and costume designer’s 70-year career. The Ukrainian-born creative died in Paris in 1979 at age 94.
Another trace of her artistic leaings will be seen in the felted wool cloche hat and silk scarf set circa 1924-25 that infused Orphism and abstractinto fashion. Her Ballets Russes costumes for Serge Diaghilev’s 1918 “Cleopatra” production will also be on display. The show concludes with highlights from the 1960s and 1970s, when she worked on a Matra 530 sports car, jewelry, ceramics and other pieces.
In other arts-related news, the Studio Museum in Harlem’s director and chief curator has received this year’s Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize for her ongoing contributions to the arts. She is the first institutional leader to receive the prize in its 30-year history. The honor comes with a cash award of approximately $250,000.
Another win for New York’s art scene happened this week. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was on hand at Wednesday’s groundbreaking for The People’s Theatre: Centro Cultural Inmigrante, a 19,000-square-foot performing arts center. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Luis Miranda Jr. have helped to push fundraising for that project past the $30 million mark, by donating $1 million. Separately, the Hispanic Society will unveil “Picasso and the Spanish Classics” on Nov.
