Once Upon a Time in Italy . . . The Westerns of Sergio Leone is cocurated by Leone biographer Christopher Frayling and Estella Chung, Associate Curator of Popular Culture at the Autry National Center’s Museum of the American West. Christopher Frayling, also the guest scholar for the exhibition, is Rector of the Royal College of Art–the only wholly postgraduate university of art and design in the world, and also Professor of Cultural History at the College. In addition, he is Chairman of Arts Council England, the largest funding body for the arts there. Sir Christopher was knighted for “services to art and design education” in January 2001. Well-known as a historian, critic, and award-winning broadcaster, Frayling has published 13 books and numerous articles on the arts, popular culture, design, and the history of ideas, one being his vast biography of Sergio Leone, and most recently, the accompanying book to the Autry’s exhibition Once Upon a Time in Italy . . . The Westerns of Sergio Leone.
This exhibition is organized by the Autry National Center, Los Angeles.
