Author, art historian, biographer, Nicolas Fox Weber, with Victoria Wilson (Weber’s editor) and Foster Hirsch discuss Weber’s long-awaited, acclaimed biography ("A treasure-chest for art historians . . .”— ​Hilary Spurling, The Wall Street Journal) of the extraordinary and surprising life of Piet Mondrian (Knopf), part of the Wilson/Hirsch Talk of the Town series of conversations at New York’s Salmagundi Art Club.
 
Weber, cultural historian, director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, has written many books, among them on modernism, on the founders and artists of the Bauhaus, on each of the Albers themselves, on Corbusier, the Clarks of Cooperstown, on Balthus, on the evolution and making of the iPhone.  

In this fascinating, inspiring conversation, Weber talks of the artist who revolutionized modern painting, architecture, graphic art, fashion design and more, and who created some of the most recognizable abstract paintings of the 20th century, and in so doing changed the course of modern art forever.

Weber, Wilson and Hirsch talk about the piecing together and writing of this difficult, pure life and the life-long quest of this transformative artist whose work is still reverberating almost a century after Mondrian’s time.
