This event has ended.
The Cooper Union School of Art presents Art and politics as usual, a one-time series of programming that explores the political power of the visual arts. Art and politics as usual launches on October 21 with a public lecture in The Great Hall by Berlin and Hamburg-based painter Daniel Richter who has been invited as the 2008 Alex Katz Chair in Painting. This prestigious endowed chair, established by The Cooper Union School of Art alumnus and former trustee Alex Katz, was created in 2002 to bring distinguished international painters to participate in the academic program of the School of Art. Richter, known for deconstructing historical moments and depicting violence, instability, and apocalyptic energy through painting, will speak about his work.
