Visit the Frist Art Museum's Lee Alexander McQueen & Ann Ray: Rendez-Vous exhibition now through August 25.
The experience serves as an intimate glimpse into the contemporary fashion trailblazer’s world through a selection of Ray’s photographs spanning more than thirteen years.
The exhibit features sixty of McQueen’s garments alongside sixty-five of Ray’s photos with the intent to reexamine the life and legacy of a beloved yet misunderstood figure. This exhibition is profoundly moving, offering a rare and immersive look into the dynamic relationship between McQueen's designs and Ray's photography. As visitors navigate through the gallery, they are transported into a world where fashion and art converge, each piece telling a story of innovation, passion, and complexity. The juxtaposition of McQueen’s intricate, often theatrical garments with Ray’s intimate, behind-the-scenes photographs provides a view of the designer’s creative process and the emotional depth behind his work. Ray’s photographs capture moments of both triumph and turmoil. Through her lens, guests will see the designer as a multifaceted individual. (fristartmuseum.org)
