On Friday, September 19th at 5:30 PM for an illustrated talk by Avis Berman, editor of Katharine Kuh's autobiography MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH MODERN ART.
Greater Syracuse NOW (Nat'l Organization for Women) presents an illustrated talk by Avis Berman, editor of Katharine Kuh's autobiography "My Love Affair with Modern Art."
"Katharine Kuh (1904-1994), an Art Institute of Chicago curator for over two decades and art critic for the Saturday Review for 19 years, found personal contact with artists essential. Nothing, she stated, could substitute for the experience of seeing work firsthand in the artist's studio. And that was what she set out to do. Over the productive decades of her career, modern art icon Kuh became close friends with Edward Hopper, Fernand Leger, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Isamu Noguchi, Clifford Still, and many others. Overcoming her reticence to reveal her own personal life, Kuh had written three-fourths of her memoirs prior to her death in 1994. Her editor and friend Avis Berman carefully sifted through stacks of notes, draft essays, and clippings to piece together the remaining portrait of Kuh's amazing life among artists." -Art Institute of Chicago website

That Kuh lecture was great! I'm actually reading the book now for a class! I should have gotten the autographed version when I could, right?
