A tribute to whimsical designer, Judith Lieber, who passed away on April 28, 2018. Judith Lieber had the capability of transforming everyday handbags into object d’arts. Her works can be seen in the collections of notable institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institute of Art, and the Chicago Historical Society.
From The Museum of Jewish Heritage:
Judith Leiber and Gerson Leiber interviewed by author Jeffrey Sussman.
Beginning with Judith’s life in Budapest under Nazi occupation and her marriage to Gerson, an American GI, the Leibers recount their memorable lives and how his paintings ended up in the world’s most important collections, and her handbags have been treasured by every First Lady since Mamie Eisenhower.
