William Ivey Long: Costume Designs 2007-2016

23 September 2017 - 3 June 2018

Mint Museum Uptown

 

 

 

 

North Carolina native, William Ivey Long, is one of the most renowned theatrical costume designers working today. Since the beginning of his career in the 1970s, Long has designed over sixty shows, won six Tony awards and received 13 nominations, and has received numerous other accolades. The exhibition, William Ivey Long: Costume Designs 2007–2016, organized by the Mint Museum, will explore Long’s most recent work, from 2007 to today. It will feature the theatrical productions The Lost Colony (redesigned 2007–2008), The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2012), Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (2013), Little Dancer (2014), and On the Twentieth Century (2015), as well as the television specials Grease Live! (2016), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again (2016). Focusing on Long’s process, it will feature sketches, swatches, mood boards, and other preparatory materials in addition to the costumes themselves. Because costume design is not an area in which the Mint collects, it will provide visitors with exposure to this form of art and allow for comparison of the different goals of theatrical costume and fashion. The exhibition is co-curated by Annie Carlano and Rebecca Elliot and will be accompanied by an exhibition catalogue.
