NEW RUSSIAN IMPERIAL<br />
VERBENA JEWELRY In 1872, Peter<br />
Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846–1920)<br />
and his brother took over their father’s<br />
small jewelry atelier. Growing it into<br />
a global enterprise, they cultivated<br />
an elite clientele that included the<br />
Romanovs, the Russian Imperial<br />
Family. Among the workshop’s<br />
many exquisite creations is an<br />
opulent yet fanciful potted<br />
verbena plant <strong>of</strong> gold, silver,<br />
enamel, diamonds, and<br />
semiprecious stones,<br />
adapted for our charming<br />
jewelry suite. Produced<br />
in cooperation with the<br />
Matilda Geddings Gray<br />
Foundation. 18K gold<br />

OUR MISSION AT THE METROPOLITAN<br />
MUSEUM OF ART STORE IS TO CONNECT<br />
PEOPLE TO THE WORLD OF ART AND<br />

Continuing a tradition that began in 1870, we<br />
work closely with art historians and master<br />
craftspeople to ensure that each publication,<br />
reproduction, and adaptation meets the<br />
highest standards <strong>of</strong> design, quality, and<br />
value. Your purchase—whether through<br />

LOTUS COLLECTION<br />
The humorous theatrical tradition<br />
known as Kyogen was originally<br />
performed as comic relief during<br />
intermissions in the more serious<br />
Noh drama. Reflecting its<br />
bombastic acting style, Kyogen<br />
costumes are noted for their<br />
bold, resist-dyed patterns, as<br />
seen in the lotus design <strong>of</strong> an<br />
early 19th-century suo (jacket)<br />
in the <strong>Museum</strong>’s collection.<br />
Once worn by an actor playing a<br />
samurai lord, it is the source for<br />
the striking lotus flowers on our<br />
jacket and shawl. Imported.<br />

Buddhism, and Confucianism. It is a frequent motif<br />
in Asian art <strong>of</strong> many cultures and eras. Lotus images<br />

NEW JAVANESE LOTUS JEWELRY<br />

Javanese kingdom was the most powerful<br />
Southeast Asian kingdom <strong>of</strong> its time,<br />
establishing the great classical style <strong>of</strong><br />
Indonesian art between the 8th and the<br />

lotus, a flower honored in many Asian<br />
traditions. Its ancient design is the<br />

EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FASHION AND ART, THIS ELOQUENT EXHIBITION<br />
looks at fashion’s role in the works <strong>of</strong> the Impressionists and their contemporaries. The time period is the<br />
mid-1860s to the mid-1880s, when Paris emerged as the style capital <strong>of</strong> the world, and the department<br />
store, fashion magazines, and the concept <strong>of</strong> ready-made wear were all on the rise. Presented are some<br />
75 major figure paintings interspersed with period costumes, accessories, fashion plates, photographs, and<br />
popular prints, illustrating how the avant-garde—from Manet, Monet, and Renoir to Baudelaire, Mallarmé,<br />
and Zola—turned a fresh eye to contemporary dress as the herald <strong>of</strong> la modernité.<br />

CHARLES FREDERICK WORTH BOW<br />
AND PEARL JEWELRY When haute couture<br />
began in mid-19th-century Paris, certain fashion<br />
designers became both revered as artists and<br />
sought after as celebrities. Charles Frederick<br />
Worth (French, 1825–1895) was one <strong>of</strong> these,<br />
and his Paris shop was frequented by the great<br />
ladies <strong>of</strong> the day. A Worth silk evening gown<br />
from 1888 in the <strong>Museum</strong>’s Costume Institute is<br />
lavished with metallic embroidered bows adorned<br />
with beads and sequins. Their graceful shape has<br />

NEW PEARL ROSETTE JEWELRY During a career that spanned<br />
six decades, Louis C. Tiffany (American, 1848–1933) embraced<br />
virtually every artistic and decorative medium, designing and directing<br />
his studios to produce leaded-glass windows, mosaics, lamps, glass,<br />
pottery, metalwork, enamels, jewelry, and interiors. In 1914, Meta K.<br />
Overbeck became head designer <strong>of</strong> his “art jewelry” department. The<br />
design for this enchanting rosette suite is based on a drawing from a<br />
surviving volume <strong>of</strong> her distinctive designs. Produced in cooperation<br />

D. AUGUSTUS<br />
SAINT-GAUDENS:<br />
DIANA Architect Stanford<br />
White commissioned Augustus<br />
Saint-Gaudens (American, 1848–<br />
1907), one <strong>of</strong> the greatest sculptors<br />
<strong>of</strong> his day, to create a weather vane<br />
for the tower <strong>of</strong> Madison Square<br />
Garden. White thought the original<br />
18-foot gilded bronze figure, erected<br />
in 1891, was too large, and a year later<br />
it was replaced with a smaller version<br />
that towered over the New York skyline<br />
until the building was razed in 1925.<br />
Later on, Saint-Gaudens created three<br />
reduced variant editions <strong>of</strong> Diana<br />
and our gleaming figure reproduces<br />
one <strong>of</strong> these smaller versions, a<br />
jewel <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Museum</strong>’s American<br />

75 YEARS OF MEDIEVAL SPLENDOR<br />
THE CURATOR’S VIEW:<br />
IN 2013, THE CLOISTERS MUSEUM AND GARDENS REACHES<br />
A WONDERFUL MILESTONE: OUR 75TH ANNIVERSARY. As the<br />
unique branch <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Metropolitan</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> dedicated to the art<br />
and architecture <strong>of</strong> medieval Europe, The Cloisters first opened its<br />
doors in 1938. Since then, generations <strong>of</strong> visitors have enjoyed our<br />
scenic setting in northern Manhattan and explored our renowned<br />
collections. This year, we will celebrate with special exhibitions<br />
devoted to the legend <strong>of</strong> the mythical unicorn and stained glass<br />
from Canterbury Cathedral—even a contemporary sound installation.<br />
State-<strong>of</strong>-the-art renovations, new acquisitions, and a new guide have<br />
prepared us for an exciting future.<br />

MASTER AMERICAN PORTRAITIST<br />
GILBERT STUART<br />
AMERICA’S LONG STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE ISOLATED THE COUNTRY ARTISTICALLY AS WELL<br />
AS COMMERCIALLY. But in the years that followed, many painters who had fled to Europe returned home,<br />
among them Gilbert Stuart (American, 1755–1828), who had become one <strong>of</strong> the most sought-after painters<br />
in London and Dublin. Stuart rose to prominence during the early years <strong>of</strong> the American republic, turning his<br />
abundant natural talent to the representation <strong>of</strong> human likeness and character. His success painting the rich and<br />
famous was perfectly timed for the people <strong>of</strong> the United States, who—proud <strong>of</strong> their young republic—were eager<br />
to display symbols <strong>of</strong> patriotism, from the nation’s seal to the bald eagle to images <strong>of</strong> well-known Americans.<br />

E–F. GOLDEN BAMBOO COLLECTION<br />
Especially notable within the revered realm<br />
<strong>of</strong> Japanese lacquerwork is the technique<br />
<strong>of</strong> maki-e, achieved through the painstaking<br />
application <strong>of</strong> gold or silver powder to the<br />
lacquer surface. The resultant finishes display<br />
remarkable subtlety and delicacy. A <strong>Museum</strong><br />
maki-e lacquer box (ca. 1800) is adorned<br />
with golden bamboo leaves, the source<br />
for our enchanting shawl and top.<br />

D. RODIN: ADAM In 1880, sculptor Auguste Rodin<br />
(French, 1840–1917) received his first commission from the<br />
French government for an immense work based loosely on<br />
Dante’s Divine Comedy. It was never finished or cast during<br />
Rodin’s lifetime, but a sketchbook in the Musée Rodin in Paris<br />
contains a study for the piece, The Gates <strong>of</strong> Hell, showing<br />
the gates flanked by standing figures. Poignant images from<br />
this sketch show a dejected Eve and an anguished Adam,<br />
reflecting mankind’s fall from grace. The <strong>Museum</strong>’s Adam was<br />
cast in bronze (ca. 1910) from Rodin’s original models for this<br />
epic project (1880 and 1881). Our hand-cast reproduction is<br />
bonded bronze and hand patinated. 15"H x 6"W x 5 1/2"D.<br />

FLORALS SCARF William Morris (British,<br />
1834–1896) founded his eponymous firm in 1861<br />

those seen in our graceful scarf. Its featured print is based on Violet<br />
and Columbine, a wool textile, while its border is adapted from Pink<br />
and Rose, a woodblock-printed wallpaper, both from the <strong>Museum</strong>’s<br />
collection. Silk crêpe de chine. Imported. 18" x 64". 80-018139 $65<br />
