Robert Capucci: Art Into Fashion
Philadelphia Museum of Art
March 16, 2011 - June  5, 2011

Italian fashion designer and artist Roberto Capucci (born 1930) is revered by contemporary designers for his innovative silhouettes and masterful use of form, color, and materials. This exhibition—featuring over eighty works, as well as original drawings and sketches—will be the first survey of his work in the United States. It includes work ranging from the beginning of his career as a boy genius of Italian fashion to his legendary sculpture-dresses—including his seminal 1978 “Colonna” silhouette, based on the Doric column—as well as his series of sculptures from 2007 honoring the city of Florence.
