7 - 8:30 pm
In collaboration with Cheerio, we are delghted to welcome to the gallery legendary Lynn Barber and the acclaimed journalist, editor and author Cosmo Landesman to discuss Lynn's highly anticipated new book, A Little Art Education, published by Cheerio.
Beautifully illustrated and fizzing with stories from Lynn’s forays into the world of art, A Little Art Education documents one of Britain's most celebrated and feared journalists' most enduring passion - and the companions, feuds, and lessons learnt from a life spent in pursuit of it.
Following the huge success of her memoir An Education, adapted into an Oscar-nominated film starring Carey Mulligan in 2009, A Little Art Education recalls the more recent chapters in Lynn's fascinating life.
From her friendships with Sarah Lucas and Tracey Emin, to Parisian weekends with Salvador Dali, and cigarettes on street corners with David Hockney, this short, snappy, gossipy book is a memoir of the art world like you've never read before.
Each ticket purchased includes a copy of A Little Art Education, which Lynn can sign on the night, and a complementary glass of wine.
Copies of A Little Art Education will be available to purchase from Hatchards.
