Interview with Photorealist Richard Estes Published in Artcritical

An interview with photorealist painter Richard Estes has been published. The conversation was conducted by an unnamed interviewer who sought Estes's consent for the discussion. During a dinner meeting, the interviewer proposed opening the piece by describing Estes as "among the giants in the world of Contemporary Realism" and calling him "a god." Estes apparently agreed to participate following this approach. The interview appears in the Lehrer| Damon Archives section of the artcritical website. No specific date or location for the dinner or publication is provided in the source material. The content focuses on the interviewer's persuasive technique rather than detailing Estes's artistic practice or career milestones.
