JULIE SAUL GALLERY 'Darling Dorset' by Maira Kalman at Julie Saul Gallery, New York BY BLOUIN ARTINFO | AUGUST 01, 2017 Maira Kalman, Cream Teas, Sherborne Castle, 2017, gouache on paper, 12 x 9”. Julie Saul Gallery is hosting an exhibition titled “Darling Dorset” by artist Maira Kalman at the gallery’s New York location. The exhibition presents new works by Manhattan-based Israeli-born artist Maira Kalman (1949, Tel Aviv, Israel), marking her ninth solo with the gallery. For 35 years, the artist has also worked as a designer, author, and illus- trator. She has written and illustrated children's books including “Ooh-la-la-Max in Love,” “What Pete Ate,” and “Swami on Rye;” and often illustrates for The New Yorker magazine. Well-known for her collaboration with Rick Meyerowitz on the New Yorker cover in 2001, Kalman authored or illustrated four books in 2010-12 including Michael Pollan’s “Food Rules,” and Daniel Handler’s “Why We Broke Up.” The exhibition is a visual expression of Kalman’s travel in Dorset, a region on the Southwest part of the UK. The artist visited Dorset to experience the luscious early summer gardens, to visit and stay in old houses, and observe her fellow wanderers. Commissioned by Departures Magazine, and published in the May/June 2017 issue, these 11 gouache paintings on view are witty examples of Kalman’s favorite subjects - landscapes, still life, and objects from everyday life. The exhibition is on view through September 16, 2017 at Julie Saul Gallery, 535 West 22nd Street # 6F, New York, NY 10011, USA. 535 West 22ND Street New York NY – 10011 T: 212 - 627 - 2410 F: 212 - 627 - 2411 saulgallery.com.

Guests immediately lined up to take a ride on the 45- foot-tall Ferris wheel. They also tried their luck at fun carnival games named after the key players in the story of Purim: “Mordecai’s Break-A-Plate,” “Esther’s Ring Toss,” and “Haman’s Balloon Pop.” Prizes included a Deborah Kass “OY/YO” necklace and a BaubleBar gift card.

Public Relations Office · 500 University Avenue · Rochester, NY 14607-1415 585.276.8900 · 585.473.6266 fax · mag.rochester.edu NEWS MEMORIAL ART GALLERY SHOWCASES MAIRA KALMAN ILLUSTRATIONS FOR CLASSIC WRITER’S HANDBOOK During Opening Weekend, Visitors Invited to Trade Old Books for Admission ROCHESTER, NY, April 15, 2009 — Maira Kalman is well known for children’s books (Max in Love); New Yorker illustrations (among them the 2001 “NewYorkistan” cover); and the book The Principles of Uncertainty, based on her monthly illustrated column for The New York Times. An exhibition opening May 2 at the Memorial Art Gallery showcases other recent work by Kalman—more than 50 original illustrations for a 2005 edition of the classic writer’s handbook A The Elements of Style. Kalman’s serendipitous encounter with an old copy of the book in a Cape Cod antique shop led to a visual rethinking of the rules of writing that William Strunk Jr. and then E. B. White formulated over the years, beginning in 1918. The more than 50 colorful and humorous illustrations will be a treat for Kalman fans and a joy for visitors just discovering her work. During the opening weekend, any visitor who donates a used copy of The Elements of Style for display during the show will receive free Gallery admission. This special offer is good only on Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3. Maira Kalman: The Elements of Style remains on view through August 2. The exhibition is made possible by Lynne Lovejoy and presented in memory of Bill Buckett, president of the Memorial Art Gallery Board of Managers, 1996-98.

The New York Public Library and the Jewish Museum Announce Joint Acquisition of Maira Kalman's Original Paintings for “The
The New York Public Library and the Jewish Museum Announce Joint Acquisition of Maira Kalman’s Original Paintings for “The Elements of Style” New York, NY, October 16, 2018 – The Jewish Museum and The New York Public Library (NYPL) have jointly acquired the complete series of 57 gouaches on paper created by designer, author, illustrator, and artist Maira Kalman for the 2005 edition of The Elements of Style. In The Elements of Style Maira Kalman adapts the well-known reference book of the same name by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White (originally published by Strunk in 1918, and revised by White in 1959), pairing her irreverent illustrations with its grammatical rules. Known to generations of aspiring writers and English students, Kalman discovered the book at a used bookstore around 2002. She found it so amusing and subject to visual interpretation that it became her most beloved project to date. Claudia Gould, Helen Goldsmith Menschel Director, The Jewish Museum, said, “Even before participating in the organization of Maira Kalman’s 2011 retrospective, I greatly admired her perceptive, irreverent work. This is the first time that the Jewish Museum has collaborated with another institution on a major acquisition. The joint acquisition with The New York Public Library of Kalman’s paintings for The Elements of Style allows us to significantly expand our holdings of Kalman’s work with this witty, incisive series by a unique illustrator, artist, and author.” "Maira Kalman's whimsical interpretation of The Elements of Style breathed new life into an important book, making it increasingly attainable while capturing the playful spirit of the original authors," said New York Public Library President Tony Marx.

Maira Kalman's Empathetic Portraits
Hyperallergic, June 13, 2014 BOOKS Maira Kalman’s Empathetic Portraits By Jillian Steinhauer The girl stands awkwardly, her arms crossed over her stomach. Below them she wears high- waisted shorts, wrinkled through with creases and rolled at the bottom; above them she wears a frilly top. And above that, her deeply furrowed brow, mirrored by the part in her neatly done hair. She looks out, but not at us; her gaze falls to our left, focused intently, unkindly on some unseen figure — maybe a parent (or two) who’s forcing her to stand here awkwardly, to pose for a photo- graph in the yard. She didn’t want to wear this outfit and she doesn’t Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler, spread from Girls Standing on Lawns like her stomach and this whole picture is foolishness. This small, square, black-and-white photograph was taken in 1955. Its photographer and subject are unknown. Yet it’s in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), one of many so-called “vernacular photographs” owned by the institution. As such, it has recently been reproduced in a slim book called Girls Standing on Lawns, a collaboration between artist and writer Maira Kalman and author Daniel Handler. The text they’ve given this pretty, unhappy girl, floating at the top of the page where her picture is featured, reads, “My whole life I have not known / where to put my hands.” Me neither. To say that Kalman is an artist interested in the everyday is an understatement; Kalman’s artistic raison d’être is the transformation of the everyday into something worth holding onto.
