Museum of the City of New York Holds Annual Winter Thaw
The City Museum’s Young Members Circle hosted the Fourth Annual Winter Thaw Friday night at the Museum Of the City New York on Fifth Avenue. The annual soiree celebrates the end of winter while raising funds for the City Museum’s exhibitions and learning platforms. Young professionals enjoyed cocktails and nibbles while viewing the museum’s latest exhibit, City As Canvas: Graffiti Art from the Martin Wong Collection. The showcase, donated by Wong features artwork of graffiti writers often encompassing an entire side of New York City Subway trains. Noted as an important chapter in street art movement from the early 1970’s-1980, the graffiti writers helped to push graffiti art from the subway system to above ground and more widespread.

Tuesday night, Milk Gallery organized a VIP opening of Peter Arnell’s photographs, 1984-2014 curated and assembled by architect Frank Gehry. The exhibit, all in black and white is laid out chronologically to map out Arnell’s artistic voyage, from Tokyo to Paris, to Rome. It also encompassed photos of New York from his early years: The city skyline with the Twin Towers, the iconic DKNY mural when it was originally painted on Houston Street in 1992, and a portrait of Andy Warhol. To celebrate, guests including Martha Stewart and Gayle King stopped by along with friends and socials to wish the artist well on his first photo exhibition. “Peter has finally taken a baby step jump into the world of art… I know he is nervous about it, and I keep explaining to him that it only matters that he loves what he is doing and there are people who will equally enjoy and love what he is doing. Hopefully this show of his work will prove my point”, noted Gehry. Photographs 1984-2014 by Peter Arnell will run through April 1 in the Milk Gallery.

David Bailey will be featured at National Portrait Gallery, London next month. Sponsored by Hugo Boss, the exhibition is the largest one of the legendary photographer’s work.
Highlighting over 250 portraits, Bailey’s exhibition entitled “Bailey’s Stardust” features prominent figures such as Kate Moss and Jerry Hall. The title reflects the idea that we all start off as and then return to, stardust.
Bailey’s Stardust is structured thematically, with images presented throughout a series of contrasting rooms: from the glamorous to the impoverished, the famous to the notorious. Bailey takes his guests on a journey of famous faces such as The Rolling Stones and Catherine Bailey and then in a stark contrast presents unknowns from his 1974 expedition to Papua New Guinea and moving images of the people devastated by the famine in east Africa.
Bailey, who is regarded as one of the first celebrity photographers, was born in London in 1938. His photography career began by assisting photographer John French. French helped Bailey land a job at British Vogue where he later met and dated model Jean Shrimpton. It was through his work “Young Idea Goes West” with Shrimpton that he gained popularity. Bailey is hailed as one of the key photographers of the decade, capturing the youth of “swinging London”.
He soon became almost as famous as the faces he captured on film. His energetic, raw, and sometimes controversial style captures the essence of his subjects. Bailey has been quoted in Vogue’s 1999 Millennium Issue as stating that his photos “…had a directness that other photographers’ pictures didn’t have. And they weren’t about me. They were about the people in the pictures.” As art and fashion are both inspired by a desire to capture the spirit of their time. Hugo Boss has organized numerous notable exhibits and are proud to sponsor Bailey’s Stardust as part of this international program which has been supporting the arts for nearly two decades.
”David Bailey is a master in his field. Photography and fashion are highly intertwined and therefore we are very honored to be able to support this career spanning and unique exhibition”, says Gerd von Podewils, Senior Vice President Global Communication at HUGO BOSS AG.
Bailey’s Stardust will run at National Portrait Gallery, St Martin’s Place, London from February 6th till June 1st. For more information please visit www.npg.org.uk.
