Reception: Famous & Family: Through the Lens of Trude Fleischmann

Join us on Thursday, May 1 from 6-8 p.m. as we celebrate the opening of Famous & Family: Through the Lens of Trude Fleischmann with drinks, light appetizers, and Viennese music performed by a Quartetto Trusiano.

About the Exhibition: Austrian-born Trude Fleischmann (1895-1990) was one of the most accomplished female photographers of the 20th century. After great success in Vienna in the 20s photographing artists, models, and performers, she fled the Anschluss in 1938, first to Paris and then New York. She opened a studio on Fifth Avenue in 1940 and photographed many of the artists and intellectuals of the day, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Einstein. This exhibition will include loans from the Wien Museum in Vienna, Austria, the New York Public Library, and private collections, as well as never-before-exhibited works from family collections.
