Thursday, October 7 Thursday, October 7 at 6:30 pm Lecture Leo Castelli and His Circle 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 traces the Castelli family, whose fortunes rose and fell for centuries before they fled European fascism. This background informed Castelli's guarded but magnetic personality and influenced his role as a visionary in every major new movement, from Pop to Conceptual art.
