Conversations from the Cullman Center: CANCELED: Warhol: Blake Gopnik and Jerry Saltz
- April 20, 2020
- Canceled
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED
Blake Gopnik and Jerry Saltz discuss Blake’s new biography of Andy Warhol. With unprecedented access to Warhol’s archives, Gopnik follows the artist from his working-class Pittsburgh upbringing as the child of immigrants to his early career in commercial art to his total immersion in the “performance” of being an artist, accompanied by global fame and stardom—and his attempted assassination.
Blake Gopnik is a regular contributor to the New York Times and has been staff art critic at the Globe and Mail, the Washington Post, and Newsweek, as well as critic-at-large for ArtnetNews.com. In 2015 he held a fellowship at the Leon Levy Center for Biography at City University of New York. He has a PhD in art history from Oxford University. He worked on Warhol during his Cullman Center Fellowship in 2017-2018.
Jerry Saltz is the senior art critic at New York magazine and its entertainment site, Vulture. He is the winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Criticism and a 2019 National Magazine Award. Before joining New York in 2007, Saltz had been art critic for the Village Voice, and was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize during his tenure there. A frequent guest lecturer, he has spoken at the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the Whitney Museum, and many others, and has appeared at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the Art Institute of Chicago. His new book, How to Be an Artist, will be published by Riverhead Books in March.
