THE MOP TALKS: MARISA BERENSON
On Monday 26 October at 7 pm, the MOP Center will welcome Marisa Berenson, an icon of fashion and film, for a new MOP Talk. Berenson will be in conversation with art historian Björn Dahlström and will sign copies of her book Marisa Berenson: A Life in Pictures, published by Rizzoli.
The event will take place in the first room of the MOP Center’s main hall in A Coruña. Attendance requires a free ticket, which must be obtained in advance (maximum two per person) through the MOP Foundation website (www.themopfoundation.org). The 200 tickets will be available from Monday 19 October at 11 am. When downloading their ticket, visitors will be able to reserve, at a 25% discount, the book that the actress and model will sign at the end of the event.
MARISA BERENSON
Born in New York and the granddaughter of fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, Berenson has built a career spanning more than six decades in fashion and film. With the backing of Diana Vreeland, she became one of the defining faces of the late 1960s and 1970s, working with some of the great couturiers of the twentieth century, including Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino and Azzedine Alaïa, and posing for such photographic masters as Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, David Bailey and Helmut Newton. At the height of her fame as a model, she was cast by Luchino Visconti in Death in Venice (1971), with Bob Fosse going on to direct her in Cabaret (1972). Her performance as Natalia Landauer won her the National Board of Review award for Best Supporting Actress, as well as Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. Stanley Kubrick also cast her as Lady Honoria Lyndon in Barry Lyndon (1975), and she later worked with Blake Edwards, Clint Eastwood and Luca Guadagnino.
BJÖRN DAHLSTRÖM
Björn Dahlström is an art historian and has since 2021 been director of the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, where he has staged exhibitions devoted to major figures such as Helmut Newton, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Miquel Barceló and Coco Chanel.
MARISA BERENSON: A LIFE IN PICTURES (RIZZOLI, 2011)
Edited by the photographer Steven Meisel and published by Rizzoli in 2011, Marisa Berenson: A Life in Pictures is a fascinating compilation of images spanning over half a century of life and work.

Together, they make up a visual biography of the iconic New York actress and supermodel.
