Something’s coming, something good!

“Something’s coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something’s coming, I don’t know what it is,
But it is…gonna be great!”

“Something’s Coming” from West Side Story
Lyric by Stephen Sondheim

The Al Hirscfheld Foundation has been working on a deep content website that will allow you access to more Hirschfeld artwork than ever before. It is so rich in content that we are taking our time to get it right.

The full site will be coming in the Fall of 2010. There you will see the complete works of Al Hirschfeld like you never have before. For the first time, you will be able to search more than 10,000 drawings, paintings, and prints by performer name, production title, date, publication, or even category (television, film, theater, music, etc.)

There will be applications for you to create albums of your favorite works to share with friends, games to find NINAs, highlights from our archives, news about exhibitions, events, publications and much, much more.

We will be launching a Beta version of the site this summer for its “out of town tryout.” We want your help to find what works and what doesn’t. If you want to be one of our testers, please sign up on our email list and we will drop you a line (pun intended) when we are ready for our preview
