Art In Fact and Fiction: Michael Findlay and Frederic Tuten in Conversation
January 17, 2018
Celebrating an art world friendship of over fifty years, Michael Findlay and writer Frederic Tuten will discuss looking at art and writing about art and artists.
Michael Findlay is a director of Acquavella Galleries and the author of The Value of Art (Prestel, 2012) and the recently published Seeing Slowly—Looking At Modern Art (Prestel, 2016). His newest book is a call encouraging us to see art with all of our senses—a sentiment that reverberates strongly with CIMA’s emphasis on slow art and close looking. “The most important thing for us to grasp,” writes Findlay, “is that the essence of a great work of art is inert until it is seen. Our engagement with the work of art liberates its essence.”
Frederic Tuten is an art critic and the author of five novels, including The Adventures of Mao on the Long March and Van Gogh’s Bad Café and many short stories, including the recently published Self-Portraits: Fictions.
