Sara Berman's Closet | Met Exhibitions

Maira Kalman and Alex Kalman discuss the installation of the exhibition Sarah Berman's Closet, on view at The Met Fifth Avenue from March 6 through September 5, 2017. The meticulously organized, modest closet in which Sara Berman (1920–2004)—an immigrant who traveled from Belarus to Palestine to New York—kept her all-white apparel and accessories both contained her life and revealed it. Inspired by the beauty and meaning of Berman's closet, the artists Maira and Alex Kalman (who are also Berman's daughter and grandson) have recreated the closet and its contents as an art installation. #SaraBermansCloset
