Stanley Kubrick November 1, 2012–June 30, 2013
Stanley Kubrick was known for exerting complete artistic control over
his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked.
The exhibition covers the breadth of Kubrick’s practice, beginning with
his early photographs for Look magazine, taken in the 1940s, and continuing with his groundbreaking directorial achievements of the 1950s through the 1990s.
His films are represented through a selection of annotated scripts,
production photography, lenses and cameras, set models, costumes, and
props. In addition, the exhibition explores Napoleon and The Aryan Papers,
two projects that Kubrick never completed, as well as the technological
advances developed and utilized by Kubrick and his team. By featuring
this legendary film auteur and his oeuvre as the focus of his first
retrospective in the context of an art museum, the exhibition
reevaluates how we define the artist in the 21st century
