Martha Graham reinvented modern dance, and this centennial exhibition draws on the Graham archive the library acquired in 2020: original set pieces by Isamu Noguchi, costumes Graham designed, and rarely seen documents. A guided tour gives you the context behind the objects. If you care about dance, design or New York's cultural history, this is a rewarding hour before the show closes this fall.
What to expect
Expect a guided walk through the library's exhibition galleries at Lincoln Center, with sculptural Noguchi set pieces, costumes and archival material. The tour adds context to the objects as you move through the galleries.
