Exploring this concept through the lens of age, size, gender, and disability, \u003ci\u003eCostume Art\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how the clothed body is central to artistic expression and representation. The luxuriously designed book features a die-cut cover, three specialty papers, debossed details, and metallic silver foils. New assemblages created specifically for this volume by artist Julie Wolfe, composed of photographs by stylist and designer Nathalie Agussol, highlight the connection between art and fashion through collage, overlay, and juxtaposition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contemporary and historic fashions draw on a range of artistic inspirations--from Greek molded cuirass armor and carved Roman sculptures to manuscripts, enameled decorative figures, and grand painted canvases. New photography by Paul Westlake of designs by makers such as Madame Grès, Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, and Madeleine Vionnet--some dressed on bespoke mannequins made by scanning real people--reevaluates idealized representations of the human form. Bookended by essays from art and design scholar Llewellyn Negrin and award-winning author Andrew Solomon, the texts reveal the ways the body shapes how we dress and how we understand ourselves and others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(May 10, 2026-January 10, 2027)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Bolton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Metropolitan Museum of Art New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.96h x 11.02w x 1.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588398123","brand":"Metropolitan Museum of Art New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46939918368905,"sku":"9781588398123","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e6e7a5ae-f813-4176-acb6-eafeaa467b25.jpg?v=1781660382","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/costume-art-9781588398123","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
