David Cohen moderates inaugural ART BOOK REVIEW PANEL at New York Studio School

David Cohen chaired the first-ever ART BOOK REVIEW PANEL at The New York Studio School on Wednesday, February 8, 2017. This event followed his Tuesday appearance at The Review Panel at Brooklyn Public Library. For the book review panel, Cohen was joined by painters David Carbone and Julie Heffernan to discuss Timothy Hyman's new publication "The World New Made: Figurative Painting in the Twentieth Century." The panel provided a live critique of this Thames & Hudson release, which examines twentieth-century figurative painting. The discussion incorporated readings from the book and slide presentations of relevant artworks. This marked a significant expansion of Cohen's panel moderation work in New York's art discourse community. The event represented a novel format for art book criticism through live panel discussion rather than traditional written reviews. Both events occurred during the same week in February 2017, highlighting Cohen's active role in facilitating art conversations across different New York institutions.
