"Unseen Works: Stettheimer Dollhouse" Exhibition
The Museum of the City of New York
This event has ended.
Fifteen miniature works of art, some by 20th-century masters such as George Bellows (1882–1925) and Gaston Lachaise (1882-1935), are on public view—many for the first time—near a dollhouse created by Carrie Stettheimer (1869–1944) in the early part of the 20th century. The Stettheimer Dollhouse already features 15 similarly-sized works by important artists including Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) and others; the exhibition of the 15 additional drawings and paintings—which have been maintained in the Museum’s collection since Ettie Stettheimer donated this celebrated artifact and its contents to the Museum in 1945—marks the publication of an illustrated book, The Stettheimer Dollhouse (Pomegranate, 2009), which documents the tiny mansion and its furnishings, including the art.
