Artists Talk on Art – Elias Wessel in Conversation With Peter Duhon
Artists Talk on Art (ATOA) has provided a forum for visual artists in New York City for nearly a half century and is the longest running panel series in art history. Its mission as a 501(c)3 is to continue to provide artists a platform to share opinions and thoughts for critical dialogue in the arts on issues relevant to the contemporary context and for historic review.
Critically acclaimed, ATOA was conceived and organized in 1974 by Lori Antonacci, Douglas I. Sheer and Robert Wiegand. It has offered talks by more than 6,500 artists and a significant number of art critics, historians, gallery directors and curators. Serving a largely art world constituency, the series has presented to an audience of hundreds of thousands.
Among the many artists and others who have appeared at ATOA have been: Will Barnet, Robert Blackburn, Louise Bourgeois, Herman Cherry, Judy Chicago, Allen Coleman, Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Arthur Danto, Robert DeNiro, Agnes Denes, Leon Golub, The Guerrilla Girls, Grace Hartigan, Wolf Kahn, Hilton Kramer, Ellen Koment, Lucy Lippard, Robert Longo, Alice Neel, Vernita Nemec, Robert Mapplethorpe, Knox Martin, Marisol, Ana Mendieta, Elizabeth Murray, Dennis Oppenheim, Pat Passlof, Judy Pfaff, Larry Poons, Milton Resnick, Larry Rivers, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Jerry Saltz, David Salle, Irving Sandler, Andres Serrano, Peter Schjeldahl, Miriam Shapiro, Nancy Spero, Pat Steir, Carolee Schneemann, Marcia C. Sheer, Kenneth Snelson, Calvin Tomkins, Lilly Wei, Hannah Wilke, Kehinde Wiley and Fred Wilson.
In 2016, ATOA’s historic archive of papers, photographs and over 900 recordings of panels and dialogs were acquired by the Archives of American Art of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C.
Peter Duhon, Director of Programming, ATOA and artist Elias Wessel will be in conversation on March 30, 2020 starting 7:30pm.
