Join the PAEA Book Club as we read award-winning journalist, Bianca Bosker’s book about the art world.
About this Event

In Get the Picture, Bosker throws herself into the center of the art world with the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and of course, artists themselves—the kind who work multiple jobs to afford their studios while scrabbling to get eyes on their art. As she stretches canvases until her fingers blister, talks her way into A-list parties full of billionaire collectors, has her face sat on by a nearly–naked performance artist and forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for hours on end while working as a museum security guard, she discovers not only the inner workings of the art-canonization machine but also a more expansive way of living. Get the Picture is a rollicking adventure that will change the way you see forever.

Please join Liesl Mahoney, Museum Associate Educator for School & Family Programs at The Brandywine Museum of Art, as she hosts our spring book club about the art world. Leigh Dale, Coordinator of Family Programs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, will serve as our book club moderator.
