Charles LeDray @ the Whitney

These photographs document the original installation of Charles LeDray’s "workworkworkworkwork" in the summer of 1991. For this installation, nearly six hundred precisely fashioned miniature objects created by the artist were layed out on a sidewalk in the center of New York’s Astor Place. Inspired by the itinerant street vendors that flooded the city’s streets during this era, LeDray created tiny versions of the kinds of secondhand items typically sold in these spontaneous sidewalk exchanges. The objects on display—clothing, housewares, jewelry, magazines, books, and artwork—each evoke a unique, personal backstory regarding their previous owners. The “work” in LeDray’s repetitious title can function as either a noun or verb, reflecting the vast amount of objects, the lengthy and laborious task of creating them, or the basic need to labor in order to survive.

Vintage Sewing Patterns!

Found a great resource for vintage patterns and sewing books from pre-1900 to the 1950s. Really interesting books about millinery, pattern making, tailoring and laundering.  Especially interesting: Paris Frocks at Home, 1930
