Bianca Bosker with Patrick Bringley: Get the Picture
Sat, Nov 9 from 2pm - 3pm
An instant New York Times bestseller, join Bianca Bosker as she plunges deep inside the world of art and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators and, of course, artists themselves—the kind who work multiple jobs and let their paintings sleep soundly in the studio while they wake up covered in cat pee on a friend's couch. Bosker details her experiences stretching canvases until her fingers blister, attending A-list parties full of billionaire art collectors, and staring at a single sculpture for an hour straight while working as a museum security guard—all on a journey to discover why art matters and what it does for us. From ancient cave paintings to Instagram posts, Bianca Bosker will discuss art and its role in our lives with her friend, author and former museum guard at The Met, Patrick Bringley.
