Last year, I had the great pleasure of working on a project with Maira Kalman. She is an artist of truly unique vision, as talented an illustrator as she is a story teller. Kalman’s career is impressive both for output and the number of people she has touched.
Maira Kalman: Various Illuminations of a (Crazy) World is her first museum survey. Along with illustrations, the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia’s exhibition will include an installation of ladders, chairs, and “many tables of many things” – an introduction, if you will, to Kalman’s world. A fully illustrated catalog complements the exhibition.
The exhibition opens today and runs through June 6, 2010. The ICA is located at 118 S. 36th Street in Philadelphia, PA.
