Nassau County Museum of Art, in Roslyn, NY, has announced a major museum exhibition to celebrate commercial fragrance and cosmetic packaging as an art form. Centered on the creations and personal collection of renowned packaging designer Marc Rosen, the presentation, “Glamour Icons,” opens July 22 and runs through November 5. The retrospective spans Rosen’s 40-year career, and highlights his iconic designs for fragrance, makeup and skin care products created for some of the world’s most famous fashion designers, celebrities and cosmetic houses.
Among the perfume bottles on view will be Rosen’s award-winning Shanghai; KL for Karl Lagerfield; Il Bacio; and Dahlia, a multi-faceted glass orb Rosen produced for actress Arlene Dahl who later became his wife. Rosen’s designs for Lucia Magnani’s luxury skin care products combine the qualities of jars and bottles with the vintage effect added by tortoise shell closures.
On September 17, Rosen will present a gallery talk and sign copies of his book, Glamour Icons: Perfume Bottle Design.
