If you enjoy good theatre and film stories and like Al Hirschfeld’s work you will enjoy our new Hirschfeld Century podcast that focuses on 1964 some of his most iconic art was created that year. Give it a listen.

Can’t believe Twitter is so upset about the fact that Hans Kristan Graebener is the right wing cartoonist stonetoss. I thought the platform was for free speech 😂

We're celebrating Liza Minnelli's birthday with a special tribute featuring 19 drawings of her by Al Hirschfeld across her extraordinary career on the stage and screen!

What's your favorite #LizaMinnelli performance?

Questioning the value of my @AAAnews membership when I been waiting on the side of a highway for more than 2 hrs when they told me my situation put me “on the top of the list”. I’m near a major city on a nice day. #AAAFail

You know why medical history is important? Because history repeats. Take the cholera epidemic of the early 1800s & it's *shocking* amount of similarities with the COVID-19 pandemic. Misinformation, confusion, panic, conspiracy theories, attacking the medical community, xenophobia

The Al Hirschfeld Foundation remembers the extraordinary life and career of Broadway icon #ChitaRivera through the numerous drawings done of her by Al Hirschfeld from across five decades...

Although best known for his theatre art, Hirschfeld recorded more popular music than any MP3, CD, tape, or LP ever did. Join me Wednesday for a FREE multimedia presentation that will feature stories behind the lines of Hirschfeld's drawings.

The leadership wants us to believe they haven't removed anything and the collection on display hasn't changed. We know that's not true. Several pieces from the Worden Gallery have been conspicuously absent - no "out for maintenance card", nothing. Just an empty spot in the dust.

[David Leopold @Pknot]

Sad to see a museum like @MutterMuseum reduced to showing photos of the unhoused that any institution could do, while doing away w/ exhibits & displays (& videos) that make the Mutter unique. Kate Quinn, the Elizabeth Holmes of museums, is at it again.

This is a good question. I was interviewed for this story which ended up being very mild and while I hope it is just a site error, without any explanation it feels like a takedown. @WHYYNews should do better.

Wondering where yesterday's @WHYYNews article went? So are we!

Not here much anymore, but I checked in today & saw lots of birthday salutes to Marion Davies. @backlotsfilm has probably seen this, but the @AlHirschfeld foundation posted a detail of this drawing & and I thought Lara should see the whole thing
