Lecture: How to Look at Art Without Feeling Inferior

February 5 - Feb 5, 2010
from 6 pm to 8 pm

ARTnews editor and publisher Milton Esterow will present a 45-minute lecture entitled “How to Look at Art Without Feeling Inferior.” He will discuss the international art scene, the art market, art journalism, art criticism, and changes in taste and fashion. Esterow will also invite questions from the audience. Says Esterow, “I agree with Henry Moore who said, 'Art is a way of making people get a fuller enjoyment out of life than they would otherwise.’ ” Since he bought ARTnews from Newsweek Magazine in 1972, he has guided its growth into the most widely circulated art magazine in the world. Born in New York City, Esterow was a New York Times reporter and assistant to the cultural news editor, has lectured extensively around the world about art and the art market, and is the author of The Art Stealers. During the last three decades of his leadership, ARTnews has won 31 major awards for reporting, analysis, criticism, and design, the first and only art magazine to win these awards. The presentation starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 for Naples Art Association members and $15 for non-members and include light refreshments.
