Description

Clothes reveal, clothes conceal. It was ever thus, or almost, as suggested by the latest curatorial effort of Richard Martin and Harold Koda, curator and associate curator, respectively, of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. «Bare Witness: Clothing and Nudity» considers more than 200 years of mostly French and American fashion from the vantage point of how much flesh is exposed, and where.
