Gallery hosts NY Times art critic
Kimmelman |
he New York Times's chief art critic Michael Kimmelman will give an
illustrated lecture at the Memorial Art Gallery at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 31. His talk, "Portraits: Talking with Artists," is based on his 1998 book Portraits: Talking with Artists at the Met, the Modern, the Louvre and Elsewhere, which was named a best book of the year by The New York Times and the Washington Post.
In the book, conversations with 18 leading artists bring to light "not only what they said about the art they chose to look at . . . but also what they revealed about themselves and their work," writes Kimmelman.
A regular contributor to the New York Review of Books, Kimmelman has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He was educated at Yale and Harvard and was a senior fellow at Columbia in the National Arts Journalism Program. This fall, following J.M. Coetzee, Joan Didion, and Ian Buruma, he delivers the fourth Robert Silvers lecture at the New York Public Library. His latest work, The Accidental Masterpiece: On the Art of Life and Vice-Versa, is scheduled to be published this summer by Penguin Press.
Tickets are $12 for the general public, $10 for University faculty, and $5 for students with ID. Seating is limited. For more information, call 473-7720, ext. 3034.
