This major exhibition presents the full breadth of Isabelle de Borchgrave’s exploration of historical costume through contemporary paper sculpture.
Born in 1946, Isabelle de Borchgrave is a prominent Belgian artist and sculptor, best known for her colorful paintings and intricately painted paper sculptures. She married into nobility in 1975 and holds the title Countess de Borchgrave d’Altena.
The artist’s interest in creating paper costumes was sparked by a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1994, where she found herself inspired by the historic costumes on display. Back in her studio, she began to experiment with creating renditions of the pieces in paper. Since then, de Borchgrave’s paper costumes have been featured in major exhibitions around the world.
