Collating, in a single volume, the major body of interviews conducted by the revered American critic and curator Robert Storr, Interviews on Art includes over 50 illustrated discussions with some of the most renowned names in the art world from the 20th and 21st centuries.
Robert Storr is a renowned art critic, curator, and artist. He has written widely on art and has interviewed some of the world’s leading artists. Storr’s writing has appeared in countless books and exhibition catalogues as well as in Art in America, Artforum, Parkett and ARTnews. He has curated exhibitions internationally and was the first American-born Artistic Director of the Venice Biennale.
Storr’s interviewees include Gerhard Richter, Louise Bourgeois, Jeff Koons, Alex Katz, Chuck Close, Richard Serra, Gabriel Orozco, Elizabeth Murray, Harald Szeemann, and Mike Kelley. Each text is accompanied by relevant works and previously unpublished photographs of the artists themselves.
A conversation between MoMA and Tate Modern curator and art historian Francesca Pietropaolo and Storr introduces the texts, in which they dissect the interview as a medium: discussing the ethics involved, the notion of technique and approach, alongside the limitations and difficulties of the process.
