Just Shoes: Where Art, Craft, and Fantasy Meet features more than 70 shoes by 20 artists, selected from a larger collection of fantasy shoes commissioned by Jane Gershon Weitzman, wife of the renowned shoe designer Stuart Weitzman. Jane had a vision to create a gallery of fantasy shoes in their Madison Avenue store windows and she traveled the world to find artists who could help her fulfill her dream. Cobbled together from a surprising array of materials and forms, blending traditional craftsmanship with the unexpected, these shoes exist as artistic one-offs. Totally unwearable and joyfully defiant of practical use and anatomy, they exist purely to delight the eye and the imagination.

Curators: Debra Fram and Barbara Richards
