Robert Storr and Francesca Pietropaolo in conversation about 'Interviews on Art' at 192 Books

Thursday, March 8th at 7PM, 192 Books presents painter, critic, museum curator and exhibition-maker Robert Storr in conversation with art historian, curator and critic Francesca Pietropaolo, in celebration of Storr's new 900-page interview collection, Interviews on Art, edited by Pietropaolo and published by Heni.

Robert Storr and Francesca Pietropaolo in conversation about 'Interviews on Art' at 192 Books

As a museum curator, academic, editor and writer, Robert Storr has come into contact with the most important artists of our era. Over the years he has amassed a major body of interviews, collected here for the first time in a single volume. Interviews on Art includes over 60 fully illustrated discussions, conducted between 1981 and 2016, with some of the most renowned names in the art world.

Interviewees represented in this book include Gerhard Richter, Jeff Koons, Richard Serra, Gabriel Orozco, Elizabeth Murray, Harald Szeemann and Mike Kelley (among many others), and each text is accompanied by relevant works and previously unpublished photographs of the artists. A number of the interviews are unpublished or appear in full for the first time, including those with Louise Bourgeois, Robert Gober, Buckmister Fuller, Bruce Nauman, Yvonne Rainer and Kara Walker.

Refreshingly, Storr is as reflexive about his own work as a critic as he is about the artistic works up for discussion. The book is introduced with a conversation between Storr and curator and art historian Francesca Pietropaolo. The two carry on a wide-ranging discussion in which they dissect the interview as a medium: exploring the ethics involved, various techniques and approaches as well as the limitations and difficulties of the process.
