Art is Life: Jerry Saltz in Conversation with David Wallace-Wells

Oct 31, 2022


Join Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic and New York Times-bestselling author Jerry Saltz on his new book, Art Is Life: Icons and Iconoclasts, Visionaries and Vigilantes, and Flashes of Hope in the Night — a candid, funny, deeply intelligent look at the role of the artist in contemporary culture from one of our era’s defining art critics. Offering characteristically sharp appraisals of Kara Walker, David Wojnarowicz, Hilma af Klint, Jasper Johns, Marina Abramović, and many more, Saltz gets to the heart of how artists help shape culture, and why they must be fearless. Hear him discuss why artists are uniquely positioned to show us a window into our time, the work that’s most exciting to him right now, stories about artists that didn’t make it into the book, and more.
