SATURDAY: Sketching Killer Heels

January 3, 2015

Killer Heels explores fashion’s most provocative accessory

As fashion statement, fetish object, instrument of power, and outlet of artistic expression for both the designer and the wearer, throughout the ages the high-heeled shoe has gone through many shifts in style and symbolism. Deadly sharp stilettos, architecturally inspired wedges and platforms, and a number of artfully crafted shoes that defy categorization are featured among the more than 160 historical and contemporary heels on loan from designers

NOTE:  
1)  The museum requests that we work dry, meaning pencil, charcoal, etc.  (I've used watercolor pencils and a waterbrush in the past)
2)  There are many other exhibits including; 

• Chitra Ganesh: Eyes of Time, 
• Judith Scott—Bound and Unbound and 
• Crossing Brooklyn: Art from Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, and Beyond, in addition to the museum's permanent collection.

3)  The Museum is large and the Killer Heels show is just part of what we'll be doing. Use Mark's cell phone (973-809-9128) to find us.
