Reading the Art World episodes

  • Wanda Corn

    For the 50th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Wanda Corn, Professor Emerita at Stanford University, about her latest book, “The Couple with the Pitchfork: American Gothic from Easel to Icon,” published by Princeton University Press.

    Grant Wood’s “American Gothic” is one of the most recognizable paintings in the world. Yet its two famously stern figures have been interpreted in remarkably different ways since the painting first appeared in 1930. Was Wood celebrating Midwestern America or satirizing it? And how did a painting that was nearly rejected by the jury at the Art Institute of Chicago become an enduring cultural icon?

    Corn, who has studied Grant Wood for more than fifty years, traces the painting’s extraordinary history, from its creation and early reception to its countless appearances in advertising, political cartoons, photography, and popular culture. Along the way, she reveals the humor, ambiguity, and unexpected history behind an image so familiar that we rarely stop to look at it closely.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
    Wanda M. Corn is the Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor Emerita in Art History at Stanford University, where in 1980 she became the university's first permanent appointment in the history of American art. Her books include "The Great American Thing" and "Georgia O'Keeffe: Living Modern." She has chaired the Advisory Committee for Historic Artist Homes and Studios, an affiliate program of the National Trust, since 2000.

  • Kevin Salatino

    For the 49th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Kevin Salatino, chair and Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago, about “Willem de Kooning Drawing,” the exhibition and catalogue published by the Art Institute of Chicago in association with the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and distributed by Yale University Press. 

    For an artist predominantly known as a painter, de Kooning built his entire practice on drawing. Salatino makes this the through line of the exhibition—the way de Kooning thought and worked across every medium. He explains the deliberate choice to leave the colon out of the title: “Willem de Kooning Drawing” holds both the noun and the verb, the object on the page and the act that made it. That reading references the artist’s beginnings, when de Kooning trained as a draftsman from the age of twelve and arrived in New York with a command of traditional technique no other painter of the New York School possessed. The conversation follows that foundation forward through a lifetime of reworking and re-skilling, de Kooning’s refusal to separate abstraction from figuration, and his sense that content is a glimpse—something caught at the edge of vision and held until it becomes permanent.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Kevin Salatino is chair and Anne Vogt Fuller and Marion Titus Searle Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago. He led the organization of “Willem de Kooning Drawing,” the Art Institute's first solo exhibition of the artist since 1969, developed in collaboration with the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and in consultation with The Willem de Kooning Foundation.

    ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

    “Willem de Kooning Drawing” is on view at the Art Institute of Chicago through September 20, 2026, then travels to the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, October 9, 2026–January 17, 2027. The exhibition gathers nearly 250 works from public and private collections, spanning the early 1920s through the 1980s.

  • Great Art Books for the Summer

    Summer has a way of making room for the kind of reading that gets crowded out the rest of the year — not lighter reading, necessarily, but slower reading. A biography you can actually sink into, an exhibition catalogue that rewards attention. An argument about art and the mind that you can sit with over a few days rather than racing through during weeks of deadlines and meetings.

    None of the books on this list are 'beach reads' in the usual sense (I can't see you lugging some of them to the beach or the pool). What follows is a short, deliberate list — books that are genuinely readable, genuinely good, and genuinely worth the time you'll give them.

  • Ruth Bernard Yeazell

    For the 47th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Ruth Bernard Yeazell, Sterling Professor of English at Yale University, about "Vermeer's Afterlives," published by Princeton University Press.

    Vermeer's Afterlives traces how Vermeer, who died in 1675 and was largely forgotten within decades, was reconstructed by the critics, forgers, poets, and novelists who encountered his work over the following two centuries. Yeazell argues that the quiet, enigmatic Vermeer we revere was shaped as much by the process of recovery as by the paintings themselves: by the order in which his canvases were reattributed, by the near-absence of biographical record, and by the frameworks critics brought to an artist they were meeting for the first time.

    The conversation moves through those afterlives in full: Théophile Thoré, the French journalist who encountered Vermeer in The Hague in 1842 and assembled a catalogue—more than three-quarters of which no longer holds—but whose act of naming shaped what Vermeer would become; Han Van Meegeren, whose forged Supper at Emmaus was declared the greatest Vermeer ever painted because it supplied a scholarly gap critics had convinced themselves was waiting to be filled; and the writers who have tried to narrate the stories his paintings leave untold. The conversation closes on Proust, who Yeazell argues grasped what most literary respondents missed: Vermeer's paintings stage acts of looking, not storytelling.

    For anyone interested in Dutch Golden Age painting, the history of artistic reception, or how a body of work accumulates meaning across time and discipline, this episode is essential listening.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR
    Ruth Bernard Yeazell is Sterling Professor of English and Director of Graduate Studies at Yale University. Her books include "Picture Titles: How and Why Western Paintings Acquired Their Names" and "Art of the Everyday: Dutch Painting and the Realist Novel," both published by Princeton University Press.

  • Georgina Adam

    For the 46th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Georgina Adam, editor-at-large of The Art Newspaper, about her new book NextGen Collectors and the Art Market, published by Lund Humphries in association with Sotheby's Institute of Art.

    Adam argues that the generational shift now underway is different from those that came before it—not just in scale, but in kind. Younger collectors grew up online, which has reshaped how they discover and evaluate art, who influences their taste, and what they're willing to buy. Their conversation covers the collapse of traditional connoisseurship, the geographic expansion of the collector base into China, India, and the Middle East, and whether galleries, auction houses, and museums are adapting fast enough to a generation that collects very differently from the one before it.


    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Georgina Adam is the former Art Market editor of The Art Newspaper, where she is now editor-at-large. She is a contributor to the Financial Times Life & Arts Section, lectures at Sotheby's and Christie’s institutes in London and regularly participates in panels about the art market.

  • William E. Wallace

    For the 45th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with William E. Wallace, an internationally recognized authority on Michelangelo, about his new book “Michelangelo and Titian: A Tale of Rivalry and Genius,” published by Princeton University Press.

    The book makes a case scholars have long resisted: that the forty-year rivalry between Michelangelo and Titian was genuinely reciprocal. Wallace shows that Michelangelo—far from the untouchable master receiving Titian's admiration from a distance—was the first to encounter Titian's work, the first to react, and in certain respects the more transformed by it. Kelly and Wallace’s conversation covers the two artists' actual meetings: Venice in 1529, Rome in 1545; the encounter at Alfonso d'Este's studiolo in Ferrara, where Michelangelo came face to face with Titian's mythological paintings and responded by producing the most erotic work of his career; and the role of Pietro Aretino—Titian's closest friend and, as Wallace puts it, the social media champion of the Renaissance—in shaping and publicizing the rivalry's terms.

    The episode closes on the two Pietàs: one by each artist, produced in old age, in which competition gives way to something closer to mutual recognition.

    For anyone interested in Renaissance art, the history of artistic rivalry, or how reputation is made and managed across a lifetime, this episode is essential listening.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
    William E. Wallace is the Barbara Murphy Bryant Distinguished Professor of Art History at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author and editor of nine books on Michelangelo, has consulted for the Vatican on the cleaning of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and has served as a principal consultant for three BBC television programmes on Michelangelo. He is the recipient of fellowships at Villa I Tatti, Harvard University's Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, and the American Academy in Rome.

  • András Szántó

    For the 44th episode of Reading the Art World, host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with András Szántó—cultural strategist, writer, and longtime observer of museums and markets—about his new book, "The Future of the Art World: 38 Dialogues," published by Hatje Cantz.

    The book brings together 38 conversations with artists, curators, sociologists, philosophers, collectors, gallerists, and institutional leaders—what Szántó describes as a “stained-glass window” onto the art world’s possible futures. Rather than advancing a single thesis, the dialogues map the pressures shaping the field: the dominance of mega-galleries and the squeeze on mid-sized dealers, the erosion of traditional art criticism and what may replace it, the precarious economics of artistic careers, and whether today’s system is evolving gradually or approaching a more fundamental realignment.

    Their conversation takes up the scale of the global art world—some 300 art fairs, more than 100,000 museums, and a market approaching $60 billion—and asks whether that expansion has altered the system in kind, not only in size. They discuss the role of the art advisor within an increasingly complex ecosystem, the importance of criticism in sustaining the values the market depends on, and whether artificial intelligence may emerge as a new connective tissue for engagement with art. Szántó is cautiously optimistic, pointing to developments such as the emergence of gallery districts in Tribeca, the Studio Museum in Harlem’s new building, and the reopening of the Frick—while remaining clear-eyed about the structural headwinds ahead.

    For those working within the art world—as well as those seeking to understand it—this conversation offers something rare: the breadth of 38 dialogues distilled into a single, considered one.

  • Francine Snyder

    For the 43rd episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Francine Snyder, Director of Archives at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, about her recently published book "I Don't Think About Being Great: Select Writings by Robert Rauschenberg," co-published by the foundation and Yale University Press.

    Their conversation reveals a side of Rauschenberg that many don't know: his relationship to language and writing. Despite self-identifying as dyslexic, Rauschenberg kept a substantial body of written work—correspondence, artist notes, testimony, speeches, and fragments—which he labeled in his own hand as "file RR writing." Snyder discusses the editorial choice to preserve Rauschenberg's misspellings, cross-outs, and grammatical idiosyncrasies rather than correct them. These visual elements function like collage—intentional word play and phonetic experimentation. The book presents 100 writings selected from nearly 900 in the archive.

    They discuss several key texts, including Rauschenberg's 1963 artist statement declaring "it is extremely important that art be unjustifiable"—a phrase he arrived at by crossing out "justifiable" in earlier drafts. This refusal of explanation aligns with his resistance to fixed meaning and his insistence that viewers bring their own interpretations. The conversation also addresses Rauschenberg's activism, from founding Change Inc. in 1970 to provide emergency support for artists, to advocating for artist resale royalty rights and NEA funding, to launching ROCI (Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange) in the 1980s to foster artistic dialogue across borders.

    For anyone interested in postwar American art, artist archives, or how foundations steward intellectual legacy, this episode offers insight into an artist whose relationship to language was as experimental as his visual work.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

    Francine Snyder is Director of Archives at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, where she has worked since 2015. She specializes in artist and museum archives and in fostering research and scholarship on contemporary cross-disciplinary creative practices. Major initiatives under her leadership include the foundation's Fair Use Policy to reduce barriers to image use, the Archives Research Residency program, and expanded digital archives.

  • Matthew Affron

    For the 42nd episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Dr. Matthew Affron, Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Art Museum, about his book "Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100," published by the museum and distributed by Yale University Press.

    Their conversation traces Surrealism from its 1924 origins in André Breton's manifesto—which asked "how should we live?"—to its evolution as both an artistic movement and a philosophy of liberation. Affron shows how Surrealism emerged not as a singular style but as a set of strategies for merging dream and reality, expressed through automatism, collage, found objects, and juxtaposition—techniques designed to bypass conscious control and access the unconscious.

    They discuss how the movement's early lyrical explorations gave way in the 1930s to urgent responses to fascism's rise, with monsters and hybrids becoming visual metaphors for political evil. Affron examines the wartime diaspora that transformed Surrealism from a Parisian phenomenon into an international force, as artists fled to Mexico City and New York, drawing on indigenous North American imagery alongside European traditions.

    Affron emphasizes that Surrealist images are not transcriptions of dreams but invitations into unstable territory where thinking, desiring, and imagining intersect. He explains why these works reward openness to surprise over attempts to decode them, and how their techniques—now part of popular culture—keep Surrealism relevant for contemporary audiences.

    For anyone interested in modern art's avant-garde movements, the intersection of art and politics, or how creative communities adapt under pressure, this episode offers essential insights into a movement that continues to shape how we think about imagination and freedom.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Matthew Affron is the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Art Museum. He holds a Ph.D. in art history from Yale University and has published extensively on early abstract art, Fernand Léger, and modern art's relationship to politics. His previous books include Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism, 1910–1950, The Essential Duchamp, and Inventing Abstraction, 1910-1925.

    ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

    "Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100" is on view at the Philadelphia Art Museum through February 16, 2026. The exhibition features approximately 200 works by more than 70 artists, with highlights including Joan Miró's Dog Barking at the Moon (1926), Salvador Dalí's Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War) (1936), and Dorothea Tanning's Birthday (1942).
