Judith Leiber, beloved handbag designer of many, died Saturday at her home in Springs, N.Y., few hours after the death of her husband, abstract painter Gerson Leiber.
Both Leibers were age 97, according to Ken Yardley of the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton, N.Y. They died of natural causes, he said.
In recent years the couple had mounted joint exhibition of the work on Long Island and in Manhattan.
Stella Blum, the curator of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art until 1983, once said that describing Judith Leiber as an accessory designer was “a little like calling Louis Comfort Tiffany a designer of lighting fixtures.”
Andy Warhol described her bags as works of art.
If you listen to what the artist wants, as a craftsman, you work to bring the artist’s vision to fruition.
