New York Public Library of Performing Arts Acquires Jules Fisher’s Collection of Jo Mielziner’s Designs

Stage Directions: The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts has acquired Jules Fisher's personal collection of scenic renderings by Jo Mielziner for their collection, creating one of the largest and most robust archives of the artist's work anywhere. Mielziner, who died in 1976, was famous for his work on such shows as the original Broadway productions of Guys and Dolls, Gypsy, Most Happy Fella and Death of a Salesman. Fisher collected more than 150 renderings and designs in pencil, pastel, pen and more over decades. After the work is processed and preserved it will be made available to the public.
