Coming Soon, a Major Exhibition of Works by John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) from his Transformative Decade in Paris with approximately 100 works of art including the iconic Madame X, Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau(1859–1915). The exhibition presents an in-depth exploration of the creation of the painting and a nuanced view of the scandal it caused.
The must-see Exhibition opens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art April 27 – August 3, 2025, in the Tisch Galleries, Gallery 899, 2nd Floor . Stay tuned for more, including all of Madame X, about which, when he sold the work to The Met in 1916, Sargent wrote that it was “the best thing I’ve done.”

Anyone who has seen the China Through The Looking Glass Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art – where East Meets West in Fashion – will remember the opening as you enter. Tseng Kwong Chi and one of his most famous photos from his iconic self-portrait series “East Meets West” series, in which he poses as a Chinese Ambiguous Ambassador in his classic Mao suit and mirrored glasses.
I worked with Tseng both in Montreal for La Coupe and in New York for Vidal Sasoson. He was known as Joseph Tseng then. Photos are on my website. Look what I just found. New Year’s wishes, for 1989, addressed to me just one year before he died in 1990. I have erased addresses but thought you’d like to see it. For more of the exhibition, open to midnight September 4 and 5, closing on September 7, click HERE
