Killer Heels
Killer Heels (Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe) was a blockbuster exhibition that ran at the Brooklyn Museum from September 10, 2014 – March 1, 2015.[1][2]
The exhibition displayed high-heeled footwear, for men and women, as art objects.[3] The New York Times called the exhibition, "mesmerizing, disturbing but undeniably consummate."[4] The Museum extended the extremely popular show an additional 2 weeks beyond the scheduled closing date.[5][6]
The curator was Lisa Small, who also edited a well-received illustrated book on the topic, "Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe.[7] Photographer Steven Klein collaborated on the exhibit.[8]
