Art can be intimidating. But what if we take away the fear—
(fear of looking foolish in front of a Pollock, not knowing why a black square is worth millions, admitting you don’t like a contemporary piece, worrying someone understands it better than you, fearing your advisor might overcharge or mislead you)
—and leave only the stories that make us laugh and learn at the same time.
Restoration catastrophes, eccentric collectors, and the ironies of the art world—told with elegance, insight, and humor. It is witty, refined, and engaging — a way to make your feel free in the art world.
Art Stand Up is my new format: real stories from art history told with humor.
This is not a lecture. It’s an evening where you can laugh, relax, and still walk away with stories that can be your cultural baggage in social conversations.
Art is not a temple. You can and should laugh in it.
It’s a unique first event of its kind — and you’ll be part of it.And if you're still wondering what kind of stories await, take one last look at the "Fluffy Jesus" - the cover image for the announcement - and you'll get a taske of the irrelevant, hilarious, and unforgettable evening to come. This is not AI generated, btw.
