Please join us on Nov. 20 for the "What Inspires Artists? A Conversation with Jori Finkel" event.

Journalist Jori Finkel of The New York Times and The Art Newspaper discusses her new book, “It Speaks to Me: Art That Inspires Artists”, featuring 50 leading artists on artworks they can’t stop thinking about. Highlights include David Hockney on Edgar Degas, Shirin Neshat on Alice Neel, Marina Abramovic on Umberto Boccioni, Ai Weiwei on a Shang Dynasty jade, Judy Chicago on Agnes Pelton, and Mark Bradford on Mark Rothko.

LA Weekly calls the book “must-read material for anyone interested in how art history shapes itself across time, place, and the lives of individuals.”
