ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Helena Rubinstein: Beauty Is Power examines the life and legacy of Helena Rubinstein, the famed cosmetics magnate whose art collection and philanthropy were vital to her pioneering business strategy. As the New York Post deftly put it, “no one had to tell Helena Rubinstein to ‘lean in.’” You can read more about the exhibition in W magazine and The New York Times. 

This event is generously hosted by the Jewish Museum, New York.
