Although I’m partial to Art Deco, I admire the fact than Art Nouveau represented a period of artistic expression of feminine liberation in fin-de-siècle Paris. I mean, back then women were freed from restrictive, corseted fashions and suddenly were experiencing the freedom of movement that public transportation and bicycles provided. Many of us can easily agree that Art Nouveau celebrated this new kind of woman.
Marking its 40th year on Madison Avenue, Macklowe Gallery is presenting a landmark exhibition of Art Nouveau sculpture, consisting of nearly 300 examples dating from 1880 to 1914. We were told that curators Lloyd and Benjamin Macklowe spent over two years assembling a collection of the world’s finest examples, including approximately 100 works borrowed from private collections, making this the greatest exhibition of Art Nouveau sculpture since the Paris World’s Fair of 1900. In conjunction with the show, Macklowe Gallery will publish a lavishly illustrated and deeply researched book entitled Dynamic Beauty: Sculpture of Art Nouveau Paris, featuring a foreword by Benjamin Macklowe.
