I called Kent State because I was going to drive over on a long weekend last year but was told the exhibit was in Los Angels. I'm afraid the information you were given wasn't correct. The only place these clothes have been exhibited so far were at Kent State (Oct 2, 2010-Sept 4, 2011) and the Appleton Museum in Ocala, FL (Nov 19, 2011-sometime in Jan 2012). The NYC exhibit, as you know, will run at Lincoln Ctr from mid Oct till sometime in Jan 2013. I'm told that after that , it will go back to Florida - to the Vero Beach Museum of Art, in Vero Beach, FL. That's all I know at the moment. |

I was really hoping this collection would make the rounds and somehow end up near me. Darn.

Oh, people. I spent some time yesterday with the Director of the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive at the NYPL for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center about another project ... and he said that this exhibit, augmented with other things from the Hepburn materials archived at the Performing Arts library -- will be at the Lincoln Center location in Fall 2012!
He mentioned an opening date of October 17, 2012 ... but I'll keep checking. Perhaps I'll finally meet our Judy there ....
Sorry for the long absence from the Board ... this little tidbit just forced me to visit again! I'll post any online information if/when I find it about the upcoming exhibit. Yea.

Thanks for posting the posters, Martha. I NEVER get to the Walter Reade....And yes, I'm fairly certain we'll meet - finally - at the exhibit. Let's make a plan to do so, when we get closer to it.

I know we have several threads on this exhibit, but I choose this one to post rapturously about the exhibit as it now lives, from October 18, 2012-January 12, 2013 in my own backyard, at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, in the Donald and Mary Oenslager Gallery.
The location is on my way to and from most anything most days, so I have visited a few times already and plan to make it a regular pass through on my way to various events. The layout is delectable and smart (Kate would laugh and smile and just be so darn pleased about the whole thing), and the selection of costumes is luscious. From THE LAKE to GRACE QUIGLEY and many many stops between and around. The costumes now owned by Kent State have traveled to NYC where they have been augmented by items that live in the Hepburn Papers archives at Lincoln Center -- playbills and memorabilia and Kate sketches and ... well. It is quite something.
I have many many pictures ... I must urge all and sundry to purchase the book RADICAL CHIC that is a companion piece related to the costumes themselves and (as we've noted in other threads) includes an essay by our own Judy. Pictures of the costumes themselves in that publication are stunning ... visit the exhibit to get up close and personal.

Thank you for the photos. Jealous of all of you lucky ducks getting to see this stuff in person! It's amazing to see everything in color and be totally a different color than you imagined. Perfect.

Was just there again today. And like Martha, I imagine I'll get there quite a bit during its run. Won't want it to leave! It's like having Kate back. Actually kind of moving. Or maybe I'm just nuts.....
