Princess Diana: Dresses of Inspiration May 13, 2010

The von Liebig Art Center is excited to present a collection of the late Princess Diana’s gowns, shoes, handbags and memorabilia, including many dresses purchased at the Christie’s auction just weeks before Diana’s untimely death. At least two of the dresses and some of the memorabilia have never been exhibited in the United States. This professionally-curated exhibition of the “world’s most photographed woman,” created just for The von Liebig Art Center, honors the historical importance of her journey from royal princess to humanitarian by telling a story through the dresses worn by the late Princess to commemorative, social and charitable functions. Dedicated to continuing the model of “using beautiful things to do beautiful things” as personified by the late Princess Diana’s sale of her personal “treasures” for distribution to charities, a portion of the ticket sales from this exhibition will be donated the Pink Ribbon Crusade, which supports women with breast cancer, for distribution to local women with breast cancer.
