Kevin Conley “The Artist’s Studio - From Solitary Genius to the Studio System”
Thursday, April 5, 2018
5 pm Reception and cash bar
5:30 Talk
Join us to hear Kevin Conley's witty and thought provoking observations of well-known artists and their studios, gleaned over the course of decades as a museum and gallery visitor, art critic and author.
As an experienced observer he will talk about:
How much the hand of artist should be involved in the production of the actual objects of art?
Can artists be happy having their sculptures made by fabricators in another state?
Must they paint every inch of the canvas or can studio assistants fill in the busy background patterns, saving the more complex passages for the artists to do themselves?
Kevin Conley is a writer and editor who has covered contemporary art for The New Yorker, Vogue, New York Times Magazine, Wall Street Journal, and Town & Country. He is also the author of several books on such diverse topics as horses, stunt men, and art collectors.
