"Tamara de Lempicka" is the first U.S. retrospective devoted to Lempicka, highlighting the decisive years from 1922 to 1949 that encapsulate her career and reveal new perspectives on her life and design practice.
In addition to her celebrated portraits, the more than 100 works on view will also include her experiments in Cubism and Expressionism, melancholic street scenes and domestic interiors, and a wide selection of rarely seen drawings that demonstrate her superb draftsmanship.
The installation will also feature examples of Art Deco fashion and design to place Lempicka's unique achievements in the context of her times. For Houston, this is also a homecoming, as Lempicka made Houston her second home in the 1960s, and the exhibition has been planned with the enthusiastic cooperation of the artist's family.
The exhibition will remain on display through May 26.
