The Harrisburg Book Festival is honored to welcome New York Times bestselling author Adam Moss for a keynote conversation on his new book, The Work of Art: How Something Comes From Nothing. This event is free and open to the public.
About the Event:
What is the work of art? In this guided tour inside the artist’s head, former editor of New York magazine Adam Moss traces the evolution of transcendent novels, paintings, jokes, movies, and songs — crafting a collection of illuminating conversations examining the very personal, rigorous, complex, and elusive work of making art. Weaving conversations with some of the most accomplished artists of our time together with the journal entries, napkin doodles, and sketches that were their tools, Moss breaks down the work—the tortuous paths and artistic decisions—that led to great art.
A New York Times bestseller, The Work of Art is a “visual feast” (Ari Shapiro), ultimately examining the very personal, rigorous, complex, and elusive work of making art.
