Chances are if you live in New York and are in the art world, you’ve probably seen Matthew Israel speak at function, host a panel or read his writing. The curator, writer and art historian is a well known and well respected figure in the scene.
I first came across Matthew via his book, A Year In the Art World, an insiders view, and it quickly became one of my top three books for 2020.
I caught up with Matthew in April to talk about a number of things including his observations of the pandemic on the New York art scene, whether or not the push into digital in the art world will continue at the same rate, and his thoughts on the stand alone artist vs the traditional gallery pathway.
If you haven’t already, read his book and follow him on Instagram @matthewisrael |
