The Washington Post recently interviewed John Tiffany on his book Eleanor Lambert: Still Here. The article, which was in the Lifestyle section, includes some fantastic anecdotes about Eleanor’s life and career and describes how, “John Tiffany lays out her evolution from failed sculpture student at the Chicago Art Institute to artists’ representative to one of the founders of the Museum of Modern Art.” Tiffany mentions Noguchi’s legendary sculpture of Eleanor, shown below.
Pink Memo, an online fashion magazine which covers international fashion and lifestyle, recently posted pictures from the Eleanor Lambert: Still Here launch party at Lincoln Center. The well-attended party was sponsored by Swarovski and drew many fashionable people through its doors.
New York Social Diary also included the book launch in their section, The Week Begins, along with an article on Tiffany’s relationship with the highly lauded fashionista, Lambert, and an impressive spread of photos. Our event made it onto the front page of this exciting blog, which said that, “John Tiffany’s book turned out to be a quintessential example of why young, creative, industrious people come to New York, and why New York remains the city that it is in the world.”
