LAST CHANCE TO VIEW

A MAJOR FASHION RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION

AT THE LEIBER COLLECTION

Magnificent Obsession, the acclaimed and popular exhibition of Judith Leiber handbags and Gerson Leiber fashion paintings, will close to the public following the Labor Day Week weekend. This exciting exhibition at the Leiber Collection in Springs has attracted thousands of fans throughout the summer. Attendees have not only marveled at the works displayed in the exhibition gallery, but they have also enjoyed leisurely strolls through the Leiber gardens, each one designed in a different style by Gerson Leiber. Visiting the Leiber Collection is a pleasant and gratifying way to close out the summer.

It is surely an exhibition that should not be missed, for there has been no other exhibitions that so attractively combine such sharply conceived aesthetics of fashion and art. Indeed, the combined exhibition of works by Judith and Gerson Leiber makes manifest the words of critics who have referred to the two indomitable husband and wife creators as a “dynamic artistic duo,” whose works span the length of their 71-year-old marriage; it is a partnership that has not only comprised shared aesthetic principles, but also a profound sense of the responsibilities of artists. Theirs is a marriage of true minds.

The Leiber Collection and gardens are open free-of-charge to visitors every Saturday and Sunday from Memorial Day through Labor Day, from 1 PM to 4 PM. It is located at 446 Old Stone Highway, Springs, East Hampton, NY. The website is www.leibercollection.org
