About Event

Join Monica Steinberg, current Tyson Scholar, for a lively talk on her book Lives of the Imaginary Artists in Cold War California, a work of real art history about pretend artists. The book explores pseudonymously attributed artworks, (auto)biografictions, and humorous events created by a cadre of practitioners, both real and imaginary, who playfully complicate and frustrate the telling of history itself. This event is free, no tickets required.
