Meet
author, art critic,
journalist, and artist Jonathon Keats Saturday night January 26th, 6:30 pm at Gallery
Bookshop. While there are many
books on art appreciation, Keats' Forged: Why Fakes Are the Great Art of Our
Age,is the first one on art
forgery appreciation. He not only presents a rogues's gallery
of some of history's greatest forgers. He also poses provocative
questions about the nature of creativity and originality, as well as
providing many uncomfortable insights about the art market.
Keats is the art critic for San Francisco
Magazine, and has contributed art criticism and art-related articles to numerous
publications. His conceptual art has been exhibited at venues
including the Berkeley Art Museum.
