This is the first book to closely examine the curatorial work that the celebrated poet Frank O'Hara (1926-1966) undertook for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and abroad. Upon his premature death, the New York Times obituary ran with the headline: 'Frank O'Hara, 40, Museum Curator / Exhibitions Aide at Modern Art Dies – Also a Poet'. However, in the half a century since, O'Hara's fascinating career as a curator has been eclipsed by the critical attention given over to his poetry.

Утром 12 октября 1654 года в городе Делфт раздался «раскат грома». Колоссальный взрыв на пороховом складе разрушил целый квартал, унеся сотни жизней и покалечив еще тысячи. Среди жертв был молодой ученик Рембрандта, автор знаменитого шедевра «Щегол», — Карел Фабрициус. Ему суждено пролежать под развалинами, среди дыма и удушающей пыли, рядом с собственным полотном, долгие шесть часов. Помощь пришла слишком поздно.

He died broke, bleeding, and unknown. Now he’s priceless. Van Gogh: A Life in Color, Pain, and Immortality isn’t your typical artist biography. It’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the soul of a man we turned into a myth — and what we lost when we did. This book peels away the poster boy tragedy, the swirling clichés, and the pop-culture memes to reveal the real Vincent: a failed preacher, a frantic letter-writer, a man who lived on bread crusts and absinthe — and painted like the stars were screaming.

You’ve heard the names. You’ve seen the paintings. Maybe you even thought they were just Ninja Turtles. But behind the marble and oil paint were four real men—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—who didn’t just create art. They rewired civilization. This isn’t a sleepy art history book. It’s a front-row seat to the most creative, competitive, and gloriously petty era in human history. Rivals, patrons, popes, politics, and power—it’s all here.

In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci began what would become one of history’s most influential works of art—The Last Supper. After a decade at the court of Lodovico Sforza, the duke of Milan, Leonardo was at a low point: at forty-three, he had failed, despite a number of prestigious commissions, to complete anything that truly fulfilled his astonishing promise. His latest failure was a giant bronze horse to honor Sforza’s father, made with material expropriated by the military.

A cultural storm swept through the 1960s—Pop Art, Bob Dylan, psychedelia, underground movies—and at its center sat a bemused young artist with silver hair: Andy Warhol. Andy knew everybody (from the cultural commissioner of New York to drug-driven drag queens) and everybody knew Andy.

Aprile 1975, Pùbol, Gerona. Gala Éluard Dalì si ritira per una settimana in solitudine nel castello che il suo secondo marito, Salvador Dalì, le ha regalato. Una notte una ragazza bussa alla sua porta: è una giovane studentessa dell'Università di Torino che sta lavorando alla sua tesi di laurea. Si apre così un incontro causale, ma forse necessario per entrambe, che si svolge all'interno di quello che Dalì considerò il suo più grande capolavoro.

In Belle Époque Paris, the Eiffel Tower was newly built, France was experiencing remarkable political stability, and American women were painting the town and gathering at a female-only Residence known as The American Girls' Club in Paris. Opened in 1893, The Club was the center of expatriate living and of dedication to a calling in the fine arts, and singularly harbored a generation of independent, talented, and driven American women. Now in The Club, curator, art historian, and podcast host Jennifer Dasal presents the never-before-told story of the Club.

To help them in ways teachers and authorities in their lives may have failed them. And to see their value in the world, regardless of their circumstances, and in business, in the markets in which they’ll trade in.
