David Hickey, contemporary art critic
Tuesday, October 8, 7:30 p.m.

An art critic and analyst of Western culture, David Hickey reveals entirely original perspectives on contemporary art in essays that engage academic and general audiences equally. He conveys his interpretations and analyses, based on an encyclopedic knowledge of art history, through commonly shared experiences and metaphors. The accessibility of his writing in no way diminishes his intellectual influence; scholars have formally debated the merits of his sometimes quite contrarian arguments. His most popular collection of essays is entitled Air Guitar: Essays in Art and Democracy (1997).
