′New York Story: Jerome Robbins and His World′ in the Donald and Mary Oenslager Gallery from Wednesday, March 26, 2008 to Sunday, June 29, 2008.
″The most celebrated American choreographer of his time, Jerome Robbins belongs uniquely to New York. He was born in the city and died there, and his dances, both for Broadway and for the ballet stage, recounted its lore and the joys and travails of its ordinary folk. His dances touched a contemporary chord. They conveyed vernacular energies and communal pleasures, echoed the rhythms of jazz, and were set physically and psychologically in New York landscapes. New York Story: Jerome Robbins and His World explores Robbins′s work in the context of the many, overlapping New York worlds that met in it. The exhibition draws principally on the very rich collections of Robbins material at the Library′s Jerome Robbins Dance Division, as well as on material from other Library divisions, augmented by loans from the Museum of the City of New York, the Paley Center for Media, The Jerome Robbins Trust and Foundation, and private individuals. The exhibit has been curated by Lynn Garafola, professor of Dance at Barnard College.″
