A collection of 25 removable, ready-to-frame prints by Al Hirschfeld featuring some of the most recognizable icons of the 20th century

"To be a star on Broadway is to have one's name in lights, yes, but it is also, and more significantly, to be drawn by Hirschfeld." -Brendan Gill

According to Merriam-Webster, an icon is "a person or thing widely admired especially for having great influence or significance in a particular sphere."

When it comes to icons, Al Hirschfeld captured them all-Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, Liza Minnelli, Julie Andrews, Sammy Davis Jr., Chita Rivera, Richard Pryor, Laurel and Hardy, and the Marx Brothers. Hirschfeld's drawings over an unprecedented 80-year career have often become the definitive representations of these performers.

On the heels of Hirschfeld's Sondheim comes the next book in our poster book series-Hirschfeld's Icons-a look at the greatest actors, actresses, musicians, movie, and TV stars of the past century. No other artist has had a front-row seat to pop culture the way Hirschfeld did.

Accompanied by expert commentary and biographies by David Leopold, the foremost expert on Hirschfeld and the Creative Director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation, we showcase the best of the best-including rare images from the archives and an all-new introduction by Dick Cavett.

Hirschfeld's Icons captures not just the most memorable roles of these icons from theater, film, music, dance, and television-a tour de force of some of the greatest entertainers of the last 100 years-but it reaffirms Hirschfeld's legacy as one of our most iconic artists as well.
