Hirschfeld on the Upper West Side: An Evening with David Leopold of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation

Landmark West! is honored to have David Leopold, creative director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation and highly esteemed archivist, curator, and author, for a live evening brimming with the history and creativity of one of the greatest caricaturists of the twentieth century—Al Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld’s work is instantly recognizable. In his 82-year career, he captured thousands of Broadway and Hollywood greats in his signature calligraphic style.

For this exclusive event, celebrating Landmark West’s 40th Anniversary, Leopold assembles a magical multi-media presentation to tell Hirschfeld’s story through the people, places and productions related to the West Side—from Hell’s Kitchen to Morningside Heights. There will be drawings that we’ve never seen before, others that are beloved favorites. With Leopold as our generous guide, there will be backstories and personal tales of Hirschfeld’s life, art, and friendships with his many famous subjects.

Please join LW! for this intimate live evening with David Leopold, following the line of the legendary pen of Al Hirschfeld across the Upper West Side. Following the performance, the Al Hirschfeld Foundation will present a gallery of Hirschfeld artwork for sale to benefit LW!  40th Anniversary event co-sponsored by the Church of St. Matthew and St. Timothy.
