MOMENT OF RUTH For Ruth Ansel, the answer is: more legendary work. In the 1970s, she was art director

for The New York Times Magazine. In the 1980s, she was art director for House & Garden,

Vanity Fair and Vogue. And those prestigious titles were only part of her creative output during

those years. She also created film titles for Louis Malle’s cult film, My Dinner with Andre, and

designed celebrated editions of Alice in Wonderland and Peter Beard’s The End of the Game.

In the early 1990s, she formed her own design studio. She designed such notable books as Dark

Odyssey by Phillip Jones Griffiths, The Sixties by Richard Avedon, Women and The White Oak

Dance Project by Annie Leibovitz, and a master monograph for Taschen by Peter Beard. She

continued to work closely with Richard Avedon and designed significant portfolios of his work

for The New Yorker. Her studio has also designed ad campaigns for Versace, Club Monaco,

and Karl Lagerfeld. Current projects include a book for photographer Jerry Schatzberg and an

extensive monograph on the life and work of jewelry designer Elsa Peretti.
