Leo Castelli and His Circle October 7, 2010

Leo Castelli reigned for decades as America's most influential art dealer. Until recently, Castelli's life as an Italian Jew had not been fully explored. Author Annie Cohen-Solal, whose new book, 'Leo and His Circle: The Life of Leo Castelli,' traces the fortunes of the Castelli family, is joined by scholars Robert Pincus-Witten and Barbara Jakobson for a conversation about Castelli and how his Old World background influenced his role as a visionary in every major new movement, from Pop to Conceptual art, and informed his guarded but magnetic personality.
