On Warhol and Fine Art: A Conversation with Blake Gopnik

Every guest on our show is wholly unique. In the case of Blake Gopnik he might be most well known for a definitive and conprehensive biography of Andy Warhol. But one of the many things that goes into making such a good biography, of course is the learning, dedication and research of the author.Nowhere is this more than case than with Blake Gopnik. He is so well versed in so many aspects of the arts and art history, in particular the category of fine arts, that at times I had to work to catch up with him. That is the kind of thing we like to do on our podcast and I hope that whether you are longtime Warhol fan, novice or skeptic, and whatever your relationship to fine art, that you will enjoy this episode as much as we did concocting it.” Blake Gopnik’s Biography Blake Gopnik, Warhol, my comprehensive biography of the Pop artist, was published by Ecco at HarperCollins in 2020. I’ve been the staff art critic at the Globe and Mail, the Washington Post and Newsweek and am now a regular contributor to the New York Times.  I got my PhD in art history from Oxford University.
