As the MFA prepares to mount a major exhibition dedicated to John Singer Sargent and fashion in 2021–22, you are invited to provide your opinions as curators consider several questions related to the role of dress in Sargent’s work in our pilot project, “Exhibition Lab: Sargent and Fashion.” Step behind the scenes and learn more about exhibition planning from Erica Hirshler, Croll Senior Curator of American Paintings, as she discusses the role of dress in Sargent’s work.
