Huguette Caland at Lombard Freid Gallery

In a 1979 collaboration with Pierre Cardin, Lebanese artist Huguette Caland created these and other caftans that continue her focus on the female form. In the foreground, ‘Tete-a-tete,’ represents the melding of two bodies as one. (At Chelsea’s Lombard Freid Gallery through Dec 20th).
