Description:
“If Romeo and Juliet had lived into their
90s, they would have been Judy and Gerson.” That’s how Jeffrey Sussman
described Judith and Gerson Leiber.
Join the Fritz Ascher Society as Ann Fristoe Stewart gives
a unique insight into the astonishing story of famed handbag designer
Judith Leiber, a survivor of Hitler’s Europe who came to America and
took the fashion accessory industry by storm, and of highly accomplished
and creative artist Gerson Leiber, and speaks about the creativity,
humanity, the love and the genius of Judith and Gerson Leiber.

Judith Leiber (born Judit Pető, 1921–2018) was known
for her small crystal-covered handbags called minaudiéres, many of which
took the whimsical forms of animals, flowers or other objects. The bags
were often decorated with gems or semi-precious stones and were gold or
silver plated. Singers, Hollywood celebrities, and Divas, as well as
many US First Ladies, have carried her bags. Judith Leiber has won
almost every award offered to fashion designers, and her handbags are in
the collections of many museums including The Museum of Modern Art in
New York City, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Corcoran
Museum in Washington DC, to name a few.
Born in 1921, Judith Peto Leiber was the first female apprentice and master in the Hungarian handbag guild. She survived World War II in hiding, and met her husband Gerson, an American soldier, in the streets of Budapest when the city was liberated. After moving to the United States as a GI bride, Leiber worked as a pattern maker and then foreman for several handbag companies until she formed her own company in 1963. Initially, she and her husband were the sole employees of the company.
Gerson Leiber, also known
as Gus (1921-2018), was a Modernist Artist who created paintings, prints
and sculptures inspired by his life in the Fashion world and by his
beloved gardens. His work has been featured in several prominent US
museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery
of Art in Washington DC, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Born in Brooklyn in 1921, Gerson showed promise in his high school
art classes. Later, while stationed in Hungary in the army, he took
classes at the Royal Academy of Art in Budapest. After the war, he
studied at the Art Students League–painting with Louis Bosa and
printmaking with Will Barnet. Later, at the Brooklyn Museum’s art
school, Gerson began engraving with Gabor Peterdi. His prints won many
awards and were featured in many one-person shows, including exhibitions
at Associated American Artists and the Alex Rosenberg Gallery.
To support the couple during his art studies, Gerson’s wife, Judith Leiber, designed handbags for major manufacturers. In the 1960s, Gerson persuaded Judith to produce her bags independently, and they opened their own business based on Judith’s designs. The now-famous company reflects the couple’s shared taste in art.
Ann Fristoe Stewart is the Director and Curator of
The Leiber Museum and Sculpture Garden in East Hampton, New York. She
had the great honor of working side by side with Judith and Gerson
Leiber until their deaths in 2018. She is dedicated to keeping their
legacy alive through the continuation of their museum, and through
sharing their extraordinary works and the story of their fascinating
lives with fans around the globe.
Ann received a Masters of Fine Arts degree from Parsons School of
Design in New York City, where she worked at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art and for artists such as Jeff Koons, Rona Pondick and Kara Walker.
The Leiber Collection is housed in a magnificent
Renaissance styled Palladian edifice, which sits majestically in a
sublime sculpture garden designed by Gerson Leiber. It is located in the
East Hampton, New York hamlet of Springs.
This event is part of The Fritz Ascher Society monthly series. Future events and the recordings of past events can be found here. They offer all our virtual programs free of charge. Please help them keep it that way and become part of their summer campaign. Your support makes their work possible.

Description:
Echoes & Reflections' webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust
history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support

this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.
How did the world respond when the reality of the Holocaust came to
light? What questions were asked, and what legislative, punitive, and
global shifts occurred in the aftermath of the Holocaust? How can we
learn from the international response to crimes against humanity in
interpreting memory and history today? Join Echoes & Reflections
Program Manager, Jesse Tannetta to examine their new unit which discusses
the justice at Nuremberg, Eichmann’s trial, the advent of the term
genocide, crimes against humanity, and Holocaust memorialization today.
