November 18 • 6pm • Free • Ages 16 + Join us for Book Talk, the Museum’s book club for adults! We will be discussing “Patch Work: A Life Amongst Clothes by Claire Wilcox” on Thursday, November 18. The author of this book worked as a curator in Fashion at the Victoria & Albert Museum for over 20 years. This beautifully written memoir unfolds in luminous prose the spellbinding power of the things we wear: their stores, their secrets, their power to transform and disguise and acts as portals to our pasts; the ways in which they measure out our lives, our gains and losses, and the ways we use them to write our stories. The Museum will provide refreshments for Book Talk. Have any questions about joining?

The “secret chef” turned out to be chefs from the top French restaurants of the day–including Lasserre, La Tour d’Argent, Maxim’s and Le Buffet de la Gare de Lyon.  Dalí was not only a brilliant artist, but also had a self-proclaimed refined taste for food and wine. Dalí’s introduction to the book states that since he was a little boy he wanted to be a master-chef. With 136 recipes in twelve chapters, this collection of eccentric formulas includes an entire chapter on aphrodisiacs, the correct use of atteletes (meat jewelry) and sketches of limbless dwarves eating eggs. This exhibit showcases a portfolio of twelve lithographs that were released in conjunction of the book entitled “Les Diners De Gala” (printed in 1971). These lithographs are the outcome of Dalí’s experimentation with mixed media and are regarded as his most unique prints. The exhibition is organized and traveled by the Castellani Art […]
