“Bill Cunningham Was There” with John Kurdewan and Steven Stolman
Nearly two years ago, John Kurdewan and Steven Stolman began their conversation about “Working for Bill” at the Museum of the City of New York. That conversation ultimately turned into the book, Bill Cunningham Was There (Rizzoli, 2021). Join us in-person for coauthors' first NYC presentation and signing of their book chronicling the singular Cunningham, "who turned fashion photography into his own branch of cultural anthropology on the streets of New York." (NYT).
The lecture and slide presentation will be followed by a book signing and reception.
This program accompanies our new series Capturing the Changing City.
