Leadership Circle donors are invited to join Furio Rinaldi, curator in charge, Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts on an after-hours private curator-led tour of Tamara de Lempicka

This is the first major United States museum retrospective of Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980), exploring the artist’s unique style and glamour with more than 100 works. Recognized as the defining painter of the Art Deco era, Lempicka captured the vitality and effervescence of the Roaring Twenties and the sophisticated sheen of Hollywood celebrity. Her bold, iconic portraits blend the European pictorial tradition with the frenetic energy of American modernity, creating a singular and memorable aesthetic.
