Antonio: The Fine Art of Fashion Illustration

Sept 21, 2019 – Jan 25, 2020
1625 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004, USA

Antonio is revered in the fashion world. Who is Antonio? He was Antonio Lopez, a Puerto Rican fashion illustrator of great charisma and groundbreaking talent, a 70s phenomenon who brought disco energy—sexual energy—into the pages of still-proper publications. He died too young, in 1987 at age 44, yet another in the generation lost to AIDS. This multi-media exhibition features over 100 original drawings, photographs, and magazines, along with never-before-seen commissioned works. —L.J.
