Preferred Citation note [Title of item], [date of item], Box [number], Folder [number], Costume Institute records, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Archives, New York. - Page 3 - Costume Institute records, 1937-2011 Historical note The Costume Institute’s precursor, the Museum of Costume Art, was established in 1937 by Irene Lewisohn, founder of the Neighborhood Playhouse, whose collection of historic and regional costume formed the basis of the Museum’s holdings. She had originally amassed it to provide historical authenticity for the Playhouse’s theatrical performances. The Museum’s statement of purpose noted that it would include the dress and accessories “of all epochs and all people, which may serve industrialists, artists, art historians, craftsmen, and students of all kind.” Early board members included Lewisohn, her sister Alice Lewisohn Crowley, theatrical producer Lee Simonson, as well as professionals from the fashion industry, notably Lord & Taylor president Dorothy Shaver and fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert. Theater designer Aline Bernstein served as the Museum of Costume Art’s first President and Polaire Weissman its first Executive Director. The Museum’s activities included providing facilities to enable visitors to study original materials at first hand, including workroom demonstrations for designers and students, establishment of a reference library of images and published materials, and a storeroom/ showroom to demonstrate examples. As often as three times annually it organized exhibitions of historic garments and accessories (see Series III. Exhibitions) drawn from its own collection as well as loaned materials, in venues including temporary quarters at La Maison Française in the newly constructed Rockefeller Center complex. During World War II the Museum’s exhibitions highlighted American design and explored such wartime issues as rationing and lack of materials, as fashion hegemony shifted away from its traditional European centers and towards Seventh Avenue. In 1942, its exhibition “Renaissance in Fashion 1942” (see Subseries III.P) was held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifying Director Francis Henry Taylor’s commitment to an expanded educational role for the Museum, and its wartime support of the fashion industries by providing artistic inspiration from its collections. In December 1944 the Metropolitan Museum announced a merger with the Museum of Costume Art, effected in 1946 with the financial support of the fashion industry. The Museum’s name was formally changed to The Costume Institute and its collection was soon moved into the Metropolitan. Its first exhibition in its new home opened in December 1946 as part of the Museum’s 75th Anniversary celebrations, and consisted of 18th and 19th century costumes supplemented by decorative arts from the Metropolitan's ten curatorial departments (see Series III.X). Groupings of materials from the departments also showed costume and design sources from ancient Egypt through the 19th century. The exhibition was designed to highlight for all viewers the variety of holdings in the Museum that might serve as source material for costume design, and to emphasize the important and productive linkages between art and industry, especially pertaining to the fashion trades. In 1959 the Costume Institute became a full curatorial department, housed in a context where the art of costume could be studied and exhibited in relation to other arts. In its first decade at the Museum, the Costume Institute served primarily as a study collection - Page 4 - Costume Institute records, 1937-2011 that could support and substantiate the depictions of historic dress in the fine arts, as well as a resource for the design community. From the original collections of Irene Lewisohn and Lee Simonson, The Costume Institute’s holdings by this time numbered more than eight thousand costumes and accessories from around the world given by more than six hundred donors. Since 1946 The Costume Institute has raised its operating funds through an annual event originally termed The Party of The Year (see Series VIII. Party of the Year) and now known as the Costume Institute Gala. It began as a fashion industry-only event held in a hotel ballroom and featuring skits, raffles, and pageants of models in historic costume. Today it is one of the most visible and successful charity events, which each year celebrates the opening of the spring Costume Institute exhibition and draws a stellar list of attendees from the worlds of fashion, film, society, business, and music. Planning for a renovation of the Costume Institute began in 1957, and proceeds from the 1960 Party of the Year event forward were earmarked to support the rebuilding program, including new quarters designed by architect Edward Durrell Stone. After being housed in temporary quarters for four years, the so-called New Costume Institute opened in October 1971 with the exhibition “Fashion Plate” (see Series III.AAA). The ten galleries of exhibition space were three times larger than the previous space, and a new exhibition was planned to be mounted every three months. There were also new storage facilities for garments and research areas to provide designers, retailers, public relations, advertising, and merchandising professionals and students more opportunities for first-hand study of the collections. From 1972 until her final exhibition in 1987, fashion arbiter and former Vogue editor Diana Vreeland (see Series II.D) served as Special Consultant to The Costume Institute and created a memorable suite of costume exhibitions that galvanized audiences and set new standards for opulence and multimedia immersion in costume exhibitions nationally and internationally

Projects over the years include the building of the the Battery Tunnel, Verrazano Bridge, the location of the George Washington Bridge, the Second Avenue subway, the New Amtrak hub at Moynihan Station, and Hudson Yards, and establishing a city planning commission for New York City. In November 2017, RPA published its Fourth Regional Plan for the tri-state area, which included recommendations for supporting and expanding community-centered arts and culture in New York City neighborhoods to leverage existing creative and cultural diversity as a driver of local economic development. The tri-state region is a global leader in creativity. Its world-class art institutions are essential to the region’s identity and vitality, and drive major economic benefits. Yet creativity on the neighborhood level is often overlooked and receives less support.

  • NATHAN LYONS: Final Chapter
    NATHAN LYONS: Final Chapter March 27 - April 2, 2017 Reception: Friday March 31, 7-10pm Affirmation Arts 523 W 37th Street In honor of the renowned photographer, educator, lecturer, author, and curator Nathan Lyons, Bruce Silverstein is pleased to present, in association with Affirmation Arts, Nathan Lyons: Final Chapter. This exhibition marks the first occasion that this legendary artist’s color photographs will be seen by the public. It represents the fifth and final installment of a photographic opus spanning five decades, illustrating the artist’s intention of creating and transmitting a unique visual language through photography. This exclusive first look will be a prelude to his upcoming exhibition at the George Eastman Museum in 2019. Nearly 50 years have passed since the publication of his seminal book, Notations in Passing (1971), born out of his larger, extraordinary body of work bearing the same title. The images comprising this now-iconic compilation would be the artist’s first series of ‘snapshots’. This series sought to document the American ethos of 1962-1974 through the ubiquitous vernacular elements dispersed throughout the suburban landscape. Lyons would often focus on specific advertisements, posters, signage, drawings, and graffiti–lending a voice to the otherwise fading, forgotten script. Notations in Passing was also groundbreaking in its introduction of the artist's keen interest in photographic sequencing, often laying out seemingly disparate images in pairs, allowing a range of meaning to emerge through such juxtaposition. The snapshot, not as product but as process. Unpretentious and yet important, aspiring to nothing but a notation in passing. Things as they are, or what we make of them? In attempting to let objects be, objects and object spaces, to form simultaneously a neutral yet actively observational position, to combine ‘non-photographs’ as photographs.

  • NY ACKER Awards Is Taken from an Archaic Dutch Word Meaning a Noticeable Movement in a Stream
    1 THE NYC ACKER AWARDS CREATOR & PRODUCER CLAYTON PATTERSON This is our 6th successful year of the ACKER Awards. The meaning of ACKER in the NY ACKER Awards is taken from an archaic Dutch word meaning a noticeable movement in a stream. The stream is the mainstream and the noticeable movement is the avant grade. By documenting my community, on an almost daily base, I have come to understand that gentrification is much more than the changing face of real estate and forced population migrations. The influence of gen- trification can be seen in where we live and work, how we shop, bank, communicate, travel, law enforcement, doctor visits, etc. We will look back and realize that the impact of gentrification on our society is as powerful a force as the industrial revolution was. I witness the demise and obliteration of just about all of the recogniz- able parts of my community, including so much of our history. I be- lieve if we do not save our own history, then who will. The NY ACKERS are one part of a much larger vision and ambition. A vision and ambition that is not about me but it is about community. Our community. Our history. The history of the Individuals, the Outsid- ers, the Outlaws, the Misfits, the Radicals, the Visionaries, the Dream- ers, the contributors, those who provided spaces and venues which allowed creativity to flourish, wrote about, talked about, inspired, mentored the creative spirit, and those who gave much, but have not been, for whatever reason, recognized by the mainstream.
