	Costumes by Karinska
		At the time Madame Barbara Karinska was seventy-seven years old, and her subsequent fourteen-year exclusive association with Balanchine’s New York City Ballet marked her final glorious ascent in that mysterious land where ballet costumes are made.
		Karinska’s association with Balanchine was her longest and most deeply satisfying, but he was by no means the only dance choreographer whose visions she dressed.
		Karinska’s ageless hands can be seen, like those of a benign Madame LaFarge, weaving a delicate but indestructible thread that connects and clothes ballet in our century.

		The recently published Costumes by Karinska (Abrams) surprisingly stresses that in the case of this legendary costume maker and designer, sketches are not the left-over legacy.
		(Barbara Karinska was not a practiced "sketch" artist.) For practical purposes the Karinska legacy remains in photos of the costumes on the dancers for whom they were made, and in some fortunate cases the actual costumes themselves.
		Merce Cunningham Archivist David Vaughan once quipped that an archival sampling of design schemes for past Cunningham dances would very likely be an array of packets of fabric die to indicate the color choices various designers have brought to their work on individual Cunningham dances.

	An Impossible (Or at Least Difficult) Dream
		It was perfecting the mix of mime, atmosphere, exposition and dancing that Balanchine struggled with, making changes to the ballet each season it was performed.
		His constant tinkering, and the four days it took to hang the elaborate sets before the curtain went up for a half-dozen performances, made it an ordeal for the company, recalls Barbara Horgan, Balanchine's former assistant.
