Prêt-à-Papier: A Curator’s Insights

Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave is a painter with a singular “twist”. Painting and manipulating paper, de Borchgrave creates a world of splendor, crafting trompe l’oeil masterpieces inspired by rich depictions in early European painting or by iconic costumes in museum collections around the world. Liana Paredes, chief curator and curator of the exhibition, will explore the magical and immersive experience of working with Isabelle and her studio to create this singular and stunning ensemble of French 18th century court gowns, Russian costumes and exquisitely artistic early 20th-century dresses, all made out of simple reams of paper.
