Akris X Vivian Maier May 17 – 20, 2017 Akris x Vivian Maier May 17 – 20, 2017 Fashion and Photography: Five-Day Exhibition of Vivian Maier’s Photographs Celebrates Akris Pre-Fall Collection’s Homage to Maier Vivian Maier, Self-portrait, Chicago Area, June 1975 Chromogenic print; printed later NEW YORK – Howard Greenberg Gallery will present an exhibition of more than 30 photographs by Vivian Maier from May 16-20, 2017. The five-day exhibition is in conjunction with the debut of the Akris Pre-Fall 2017 collection, which was designed as an homage to Maier. Akris Creative Director, Albert Kriemler, was inspired by the photographer, who remained unknown during her lifetime. The Akris designs include pieces with a slightly tongue-in-cheek, trompe l’oeil effect that refer to the photographer’s self-portraits and cameras. The collection will be available concurrently in store at Bergdorf Goodman and online at BG.com, and will be seen in the store’s interior and Fifth Avenue window. The story of Vivian Maier (1926-2009) has practically become a photography legend: Maier’s previously unknown body of work came to light when it was purchased from an auction in Chicago in 2007. Born in New York City, Maier spent some of her youth in France and then worked in Chicago as a nanny and caregiver for most of her life. In her leisure, however, Maier ventured into the art of photography. Consistently taking photographs over the course of five decades, she would ultimately leave behind over 100,000 negatives. While her photographs have compelled viewers around the world since being brought to the public eye, there is much that remains unknown about the enigmatic woman behind the lens. The exhibition at Howard Greenberg Gallery presents Vivian Maier’s street photography from 1950 through 1978. Maier took “self-portraits” of her shadows, one on a New York City walkway with her tote bag, revealing with an issue of Time magazine inside, and another – which inspired one of Akris’s fabrics – shows her shadow looming over bright green grass dotted with buttercups from 1975. She also shot her reflection in store windows, sometimes obscuring her face with her camera. Maier was intensely curious about people on the street and her portraits on view range from a 1954 image of the singer, actress and civil rights activist Lena Horne to a man precariously perched on the Observation Deck of the Empire State Building in New York. About Howard Greenberg Gallery Since its inception over 30 years ago, Howard Greenberg Gallery has built a vast and ever-changing collection of some of the most important photographs in the medium. The Gallery's collection acts as a living history of photography, offering genres and styles from Pictorialism to Modernism, in addition to contemporary photography and images conceived for industry, advertising, and fashion. Howard Greenberg Gallery is located at 41 East 57th Street, Suite 1406, New York. The gallery exhibits at The ADAA Art Show, The Armory Show, The Photography Show presented by AIPAD, New York, Photo London, Art Basel, Paris Photo, and Art Basel Miami Beach.

  • (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole
    Halston (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The first international fashion superstar, Halston was a master of cut, detail, and finish. He dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women. Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Babe Paley, Barbara Walters, Lauren Bacall, Bianca Jagger, and Liza Minnelli were just some of the women who wore Halston. Roy Halston Frowick was born on April 23, 1932 in Des Moines, Iowa, the second son of a Norwegian- American accountant with a passion for inventing. Roy developed an interest in sewing from his mother. As an adolescent he began creating hats and embellishing outfits for his mother and sister. Roy graduated from high school in 1950 then attended Indiana University for one semester. After the family moved to Chicago in 1952, he enrolled in a night course at the Chicago Art Institute and worked as a window dresser. Frowick's first big break came when the Chicago Daily News ran a brief story on his fashionable hats. In 1957 he opened his first shop, the Boulevard Salon, on Michigan Avenue. It was at this point that he began to use his middle name as his professional moniker. With the help of a lover twenty-five years his senior, celebrity hair stylist André Basil, Halston further developed his career by moving to New York later in 1957. Basil introduced Halston to milliner Lilly Daché, who offered him a job. Within a year he had been named co-designer at Daché, become the new best friend of several fashion editors and publishers, and left Daché's studio to become head milliner for department store Bergdorf Goodman.

Two important portraits of Sprouse painted by Andy Warhol in 1984 are also part of this significant gift. “We are thrilled to have been entrusted with Stephen Sprouse’s legacy,” said Niloo Paydar, curator of textile and fashion arts at the IMA. “This acquisition marks the creation of the definitive collection of Stephen Sprouse fashion and archives–a chapter in 1980s and ‘90s American fashion history with roots in Indiana that the Indianapolis Museum of Art is proud to steward.” Joanne Sprouse and Brad Sprouse, Stephen’s mother and brother, donated the collection and archives in memory of Stephen to honor his legacy.

Looking toward Beijing, they wonder if the Chinese government will float its currency, which many economists contend is currently undervalued by about 40 percent, making Chinese exports even more competitive abroad than they would otherwise be.
