The New York Historical recently acquired the archive of Bill Cunningham, one of the most influential trend-spotters and style authorities of the late 20th century. The legendary New York Times photojournalist roamed the city’s streets, fashion shows, and elegant parties, capturing images of New York’s style innovators and cultural glitterati. The archive includes tens of thousands of photographs, negatives, slides, contact sheets, prints, correspondence, and ephemera. See highlights from the archive, including his camera and pages from his scrapbooks, ahead of a full-scale exhibition planned for the future.
Exhibitions at The New York Historical are made possible by Dr. Agnes Hsu-Tang and Oscar Tang, the Saunders Trust for American History, the Evelyn & Seymour Neuman Fund, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
