Manage episode 435749898 series 2938931
This conversation features journalist and author Bianca Bosker, discussing her book, “Get the Picture” with writer Patrick Bringley.
Bianca Bosker is The New York Times bestselling author of “Cork Dork” and a contributing writer at The Atlantic. In “Get the Picture,” Bosker throws herself into the nerve center of art, and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and of course artists themselves. Probing everything from cave paintings to Instagram, and the science of sight to the importance of beauty, Get the Picture examines art’s role in our culture, our economy, and our hearts. Bosker’s writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Best American Travel Writing, and has been recognized with awards from the New York Press Club, Society of Professional Journalists, and more.
Patrick Bringley is the author of “All the Beauty in the World,” a memoir about his decade working as a guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was named a best book of the year by the New York Public Library, NPR, the Financial Times, Audible, and The Sunday Times (London), which selected it as the outstanding art book of 2023. Bringley has spoken at museums across the country, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the National Gallery of Art, and is adapting his book into a one-man play premiering this fall at the Charleston Literary Festival.
