Between 1959 and 1963  artist Saul Steinberg and the photographer Inge Morath – who married Arthur Miller in 1962 – photographed friends wearing paper bags and cardboard masks decorated by Steinberg. It is not clear why they embarked on this project, nor why they stopped. The masks are fantastic but what strikes most is how elegantly everyone is dressed. There are some great outfits and poses – not to mention figures – and it’s a fascinating insight into the 60s party scene of  New York’s bright young things.
