Hubert de Givenchy and Muse, Audrey Hepburn
'To be back in Holland is always an important moment for me and especially in order to present the exhibition 'To Audrey with Love', an emotional tribute to Audrey Hepburn in her native country and in the great Gemeentemuseum. I am convinced that Audrey would have been very proud and happy with this beautiful project of exhibition. We love you Audrey.' — Hubert de Givenchy more »
UH-OH: Frances Stark 1991–2015; That Instinctual Oral Response
The exhibition title refers to the link between the mind and the body and that instinctual oral response, "uh-oh," when we go beyond what's acceptable, are faced with a complex problem or have shared too much information. The moment of reveal is seen again and again in Stark's works, and the artist takes this spontaneous utterance as inspiration to go beyond our initial reactions and to look deeper, think harder and listen more carefully. more »
Zandra Rhodes, Cinderella and the Goldstein Museum of Design
Editor's Note: In 1991, Zandra Rhodes was commissioned to create the Chicago Marshall Field's flagship store holiday extravaganza display. The year's theme was Cinderella, so the London-based designer crafted 12 larger-than-life sparkling ball gowns that were then mounted on custom-made gold mannequins to tell the famous rags-to-riches story. After the holidays, the dresses eventually made their way to the Goldstein Museum of Design. more »

Objects in the Museum's new exhibition — from paintings to prints, art glass to art pottery — are being selected to show not only the varied nature of the collection but its philosophical underpinnings. more »
