Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Published in conjunction with the April 1999 exhibition, this catalogue presents the clothes, accessories, and library materials acquired by The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art during the 1990s. Six chapters (a history of fashion, the white dress, men of three centuries, the Americans, the contemporaries, and the library) provide a miniview of three centuries of clothing. The 113 color illustrations and illuminating text by Richard Martin (curator, The Costume Institute) display the Institute's commitment to presenting costume as a living art that interprets history, becomes part of the historical process, and inspires subsequent art. Oversize: 9.25x11.75". Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Our new clothes: acquisitions of the 1990s" held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art April 6 - August 22 1999.
