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 />

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 />

are prevalent throughout the <strong>Museum</strong>’s collection. 24<br />

nature <strong>of</strong> physical beauty. Our lovely scarf adapts a<br />

NEW JAVANESE LOTUS JEWELRY<br />

Due to its position on major trade routes<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 />

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 />

the charming Circular M Will Replenish Your Stock, from<br />

the <strong>Museum</strong>’s collection, pictures a clock that we have<br />

adapted for our clever cuff links, each with a fully functioning<br />

timepiece. Stainless-steel case. Quartz movement. 3/4" diam.<br />

Spanish lusterware became renowned throughout Europe.<br />

G. NEW WILLIAM MORRIS<br />

FLORALS SCARF William Morris (British,<br />

1834–1896) founded his eponymous firm in 1861<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> his dense patterns were inspired by nature, such as<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 />
