Strokes of Genius: Hirschfeld at the Algonquin
New York, NY – The Al Hirschfeld Foundation will join forces with Helicline Fine Art and The Algonquin Hotel, Autograph Collection (59 W. 44th St, NYC) for a new exhibition of artwork by the legendary artist Al Hirschfeld. “Strokes of Genius: Hirschfeld at the Algonquin” will be on exhibition in the hotel’s legendary Oak Room, September 9 – 20, daily from noon – 7PM, featuring original drawings and hand signed limited edition prints from the worlds of the stage, screen, and concert hall. All artwork is available for purchase. The exhibition at The Algonquin marks the first New York City gallery exhibition of Al Hirschfeld’s work in over ten years.
On Tuesday, September 9, from 5PM – 7PM there will be a special opening night celebration to which the public is invited. Louise Hirschfeld will offer remarks about her late husband and the art on the walls.
Ann Telnaes In Broad Daylight
Ann Telnaes is one of the world’s leading political cartoonists. She has won two Pulitzer Prizes, and made headlines when she quit the The Washington Post in January 2025 – after the paper refused to print a drawing critical of the paper’s ownership and relations to the American President. We present a retrospective sales exhibition, showing some of her strongest work so far.
Exhibition opening Saturday September 6th by VG journalist Anders Giæver, who interviewed Telneas during the Nordic Media Days in Bergen in May. [06. sep. – 12 .okt. 2025]
If you can’t make it to Norway to see the Telnaes exhibit, maybe you can take a trip to Kentucky.

A Savage Art chronicles the incredible life and career of political cartoonist Patrick Oliphant, spanning fifty years and ten U.S. presidents. It features interviews with Pat, his family, friends, and colleagues, alongside archival footage and hundreds of his distinctive cartoons.
The film also provides a concise history of political cartoons, illustrating their significance and influence on Pat and other cartoonists.
