Andy Warhol's early, hand-drawn illustrations don't garner as much attention as his iconic Pop art, but he was a regular contributor to Harper's Bazaar throughout the 1950s and '60s. Last night, the magazine unveiled "Andy Warhol: The Bazaar Years, 1951 - 1966″ in the Alexey Brodovitch Gallery at Hearst Tower.

"You think that no Warhol rock had been left unturned, but, frequently, in a Warhol retrospective there might be one illustration," said curator Charlie Scheips.


Alteration: Greg Lauren's Unwearable Outfits by Elva Ramirez

For artist Greg Lauren, a garment defines a person as much as the other way around. For example, a Cub Scout uniform is like a totem, marking the wearer as a would-be hero. "I was never a Cub Scout," Lauren says. "[But] I knew that the shirts were endowed with some kind of heroic image. All the patches meant something, and made me feel proud to wear [the shirt as a child] even though I didn't do the work to earn them."

Lauren's newest solo exhibition, "Alteration," is on view through November 1 at the gallery space at 28 Wooster Street, which was recently home to the Guild & Greyshkul gallery. The installation includes 40 paper sculptures that Lauren hand-sewed into replica to-scale clothing using his mother's old sewing machine.


Gareth Pugh's Prelude to Paris by Elva Ramirez

British avant-garde designer Gareth Pugh should be in Paris, prepping for his Sept. 30 Spring 2010 show. Instead, Pugh hosted a film installation at the MAC & Milk Studios space on Sunday night.

The film, directed by Ruth Hogben, is a four-vignette reverie on the elements and undercurrents of Pugh's newest collection. Last season, Pugh opted to present a video instead of a runway show, which Hogben also directed. The new films are projected onto four sides of a towering cube, and accompanied with a rumbling soundtrack not unlike the second coming of Stanley Kubrick's monolith in "2001."
