The Art of the Heel
Art of the Heel
The Brooklyn Museum’s current “Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe” exhibit has taken the concept of the high-heeled shoe and elevated it further — to the status of fine art. On view through February 15, 2015, the show simultaneously explores the provocative history of the heel alongside stand-alone shoe designs from such varied sources as footwear designer Christian Louboutin, artist Salvador Dalí and architects Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid. In its full breadth, “Killer Heels” encompasses more than 160 shoes spanning 17th-century Venice to present-day runway.
Inspired by curator Lisa Small’s nuanced presentation of the high heel “as object as well as symbol…an icon in popular culture,” our own 1stdibs editors have curated the below collection of fashion and fine art. Browse vintage and contemporary heels from Prada, Chanel and Manolo Blahnik — all of which are represented in the Brooklyn Museum show — as well as provocative art pieces spotlighting Stephanie Seymour, Kate Moss, Iman and some very stylish pumps.

Boneco De Pau, Brazil, 1997
By Barnaby Hall
Located in Hudson, NY
ABOUT
After 30 years of only exhibiting fine art photography, the Robin Rice Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition featuring a selection of her gallery photographers and three visual artists new to the space: Erica Hauser, and Matt Kinney. The selected works of these well-established Beacon, NY artists blend with the gallery’s fine art photography. Upon entering the gallery, viewers will encounter figurative sculptures, abstract paintings, and ink wash drawings alongside fine art photography. Since Robin Rice’s move to Beacon, NY, this concept developed organically; the group exhibition is a fusion of artistic mediums inspired by chance encounters between Rice and friends at art events in Beacon. After spending time with creatives who've spent lockdown in studios, Rice carefully chose works most apropos with her edited inventory of framed photography. Through these chance encounters Rice found inspiration to create this exhibition unlike anything seen before at the gallery and curated an immersive experience.
Maintaining her expert aesthetic, Rice has brought together a mosaic of mediums that seamlessly fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Kinney's collection of ink wash paintings in Japanese Sumi ink and watercolor paintings on hand-torn paper render fleeting glimpses of figures and animals as well as primal symbols. Tasmania Spiral is a hypnotic work that resembles a gyre. Also in focus is Hauser’s collection of abstract paintings featuring an alluring vintage color palette...
