The artist's exhibition Pulp Fashion: The Art of Isabelle Borchgrave is on view February 5 to June 5, 2011, at the Legion of Honor museum San Francisco. The museum is the first to offer an overview of the artist's most important bodies of work: from Renaissance costumes of the Medici family and gowns worn by Marie-Antoinette and Madame de Pompadour of Papiers a la Mode to the creations of the eccentric early 20th-century artist Mariano Fortuny.
