Born Ehrich Weiss in Budapest, Hungary, Harry Houdini (18741926) was a rabbis son who became one of the 20th centurys most famous performers. His gripping theatrical presentations and heartstopping outdoor spectacles attracted unprecedented crowds, and his talent for selfpromotion and provocation captured headlines on both sides of the Atlantic.Though Houdinis work has earned him a place in the cultural pantheon, the details of his personal life and public persona are subjects of equal fascination. His success was both cause for celebration inthe Jewish community and testament to his powers of selfreinvention. In Houdini: Art and Magic, essays on the artists life and work are accompanied by interviews with novelist E. L. Doctorow, magician Teller (of Penn and Teller), and contemporary artists including Raymond Pettibon and Matthew Barney, documenting Houdinis evolution and influence from the late 19th century to the present. Beautifully illustrated with a range of visual material, including Houdinis own diaries, iconic handcuffs, and straitjacket, alongside rare period posters, prints, and photographs, this book brings Houdiniboth the myth and the manback to life.Published in association with The Jewish MuseumExhibition Schedule:The Jewish Museum, New York 10/31/1003/27/11Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles04/27/1108/11/11Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco09/16/1101/15/12Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Wisconsin02/11/1205/13/12
