/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Lead art critic of New York Times Michael Kimmelman
will visit Armenian capital to participate in the opening of Kafesjyan
art centre on November 8.
Kimmelman will deliver a lecture on his Pulitzer Prize nominated book
The Accidental Masterpiece: On the Art of Life and Vice Versa
"Good art is generous," Kimmelman said, encouraging people "to look
more closely at what's around them".
The book includes discussions on artists as wide-ranging as Bonnard,
Vermeer, de Kooning, and Duchamp, but it also includes a chapter
about Dr. Hugh Hicks, who runs a private museum from his basement
showcasing his collection of over 75,000 light bulbs.
Born and raised in Greenwich Village, New York, Kimmelman attended
Yale College and did his graduate work in Art History at Harvard
University. He is currently based in Berlin, writing the Abroad column
for the Times on culture and society across Europe.
