A Love Affair with Line: Drawings by Al Hirschfeld was a retrospective exhibition celebrating the draftsman's extraordinary career. Hirschfeld began depicting theater subjects in the mid-1920s and has chronicled generations of Broadway performers, playwrights, producers, and critics.

Many of his distinctive drawings were first published in The New York Times during his more than sixty-year association with the paper.
