Architects of Being Preview Night

October 2, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Architects of Being (See All)

Mark the opening of AMFA’s groundbreaking new exhibition – Architects of Being: Louise Nevelson and Esphyr Slobodkina – at this Member-exclusive event that everyone will be talking about for years to come.

For the very first time, Architects of Being presents the work of these two pioneering midcentury female artists in dialogue alongside key pieces from their iconic wardrobes. The exhibition introduces new research about each artist, offering a unique viewpoint into the intersections of two women who lived both remarkably parallel and wholly opposite artistic lives.

Secure your tickets now to see the exhibition before it opens to the public and prepare to enjoy beverages and bites that celebrate the style and star power of Nevelson and Slobodkina. Chic, black attire is encouraged!
