Judith Leiber is widely recognized as the grand dame of couture handbag design, having created more than three thousand different motifs during a career spanning over thirty years. Judith Leiber: Art of the Handbag on view at Moore College of Art & Design from September 10 – October 17, 2010, celebrates Leiber’s career with twenty-five examples of her designs from the early 1970s to the late 1990s, when she retired.
Art of the Handbag is organized by The Galleries at Moore and curated by Lorie Mertes, Rochelle F. Levy Director and Chief Curator and presented in conjunction with Moore’s annual Visionary Woman Awards. Launched in 2003, the awards recognize women whose lives and careers have made a significant impact on the worlds of art and design.

A public opening reception for the fall exhibition season will be held Thursday, September 9 from 6 to 8pm with The Elizabeth Greenfield Zeidman Lecture, featuring a conversation with all three women on Thursday, September 30 from 2 – 3:30 pm.
