Sex And The City with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Catrall 2001 Pen & ink drawing with watercolor and hand-signed limited-edition lithograph Commissioned by Entertainment Weekly |

Sarah Jessica Parker had been my client, collecting drawings that Hirschfeld did of Matthew Broderick, which she gave to her husband as loving gifts. So I was as pleased as could be when Entertainment Weekly called to commission a Hirschfeld portrait of the four leading ladies in Sex And The City. Michael Patrick King, Executive Producer of the Television Show, purchased the original drawing and then one of the lithographs from the Edition for each of the ladies portrayed. Now, not only would Sarah Jessica have her own Hirschfeld, but in a role that has brought so much joy to so many people. Some time after the Hirschfeld drawing was published, an episode of Sex And The City included a shot of my Gallery’s marquee, with the Hirschfeld portrait of me clearly visible. I supposed that meant that Sarah Jessica and Mr. King were very happy with what Hirschfeld did for them! |
