Intimate Addresses: Recording Artists Live

This event occurred on Jan 27, 2024.
Getty's archives are filled with artists' letters that reveal their inner lives. What was it like to be Frida Kahlo or Marcel Duchamp? How did they relate to their friends, lovers, colleagues, and gallerists?
Join the host of Getty's podcast Recording Artists: Intimate Addresses for a conversation and live podcast recording about some of the 20th century's most influential artists as told through their private correspondence. Podcast host and poet Tess Taylor speaks with Getty Research Institute curator Pietro Rigolo about the making of the series and what she discovered through the letters. Author Maya Binyam joins them to bring the letters to life via dramatic readings, and audiences will also hear artists' stories and letters that didn’t make the cut.

The author of five celebrated collections of poetry, she is also the editor of the new anthology Leaning Toward Light: Poems for Gardens and the Hands that Tend Them.
