David Humphrey: The First Monograph

In this episode, painter David Humphrey sits down with author Davy Lauterbach, artist Nicole Eisenman, and Trenton Doyle Hancock to reflect on the making of a book dedicated to his work — a conversation produced during the pandemic and guided by producer Todd Bradway. What unfolds is a lively, intimate conversation about art as community, the liberating strangeness of being written into a book, and the ways artists make worlds together. From Humphrey’s mash-ups of figuration and abstraction to Eisenman’s studio memories and Hancock’s reflections on distrust and momentum, the discussion offers a vivid glimpse into how these artists challenge and inspire one another.
