About the book: \;
\nJoin us for an author talk and book signing at the Del Ray Artisans\ , featuring Bianca Bosker. In Get the Picture\, Bosker immerses h erself in the nerve center of art and the people who live for it: galleris ts\, collectors\, curators\, and\, of course\, artists themselves&mdash\;t he kind who work multiple jobs to afford their studios while scrabbling to get eyes on their art. As she stretches canvases until her fingers bliste r\, talks her way into A-list parties full of billionaire collectors\, sel ls art as a gallerist\, has her face sat on by a nearly-naked performance artist\, and forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for hours on en d while working as a museum security guard\, she discovers not only the in ner workings of the art machine but also a more expansive way of living. P robing everything from cave paintings to Instagram\, from the science of s ight to the importance of beauty\, Get the Picture examines art&r squo\;s role in our culture\, our economy\, and our hearts.
