A fascinating exhibition documenting the odyssey of Viennese Jews Lucie and Paul Peter Porges and their respective work as a fashion designer and cartoonist. Born in the late-1920s in the same hospital in Vienna, both fled the city as children, eventually meeting at art school in Geneva in 1945. Lucie worked in various couture establishments in Paris after the war and designed for Pauline Trigère, New York's only French fashion house. Her husband Paul is a well-known cartoonist for 'Mad Magazine' and 'The New Yorker'. The exhibition consists of examples of their work, material relating to their life in Vienna and splendid contemporary photos by Peter Rigaud.
