Interviews With Artists
by Bill Powers
Signed Book
$48
Earlier this month Gagosian released Bill Powers' first non-fiction book, Interviews With Artists, a collection of Q&As ranging from art world legends like Ed Ruscha, George Condo and Jeff Koons to newer talent such as Nate Lowman, Rashid Johnson and Adam McEwen (whose painting graces the cover). Exhibition A is offering a limited quantity of signed copies to celebrate the book's publication. Many of these conversations were originally published in Purple Fashion magazine (Dave Hickey, Peter Beard, Damien Hirst with Jay-Z), but several were conducted specifically for this volume (Tom Sachs, Ryan McGinely, Julian Schnabel). Discover what Kara Walker considers to be the first human artwork, read Dana Schutz's remembrances of drawing Barack Obama in person, or hear John Currin's problem with bad reviews ("they're usually right.") This collection is a must-read for any contemporary art lover.
Bill Powers is a co-founder of Exhibition A and runs half gallery in New York. Last year, Karma published his novella, What We Lose in Flowers, for which Richard Prince created original cover art. He has written periodically for The New York Times since 1998 and his writing has appeared in Muse, Details, W, Vanity Fair and The New York Post. He was a judge on Bravo's competition series Work of Art for two seasons along with Jerry Saltz and Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn.

Nick has also exhibited at Family Business Gallery, the former Chelsea Art Museum, The Old School House on Mott Street, 5 Beekman Atrium, and has been the key holder to the mysterious Oh Wow Book Club since 2010. His zine of drawings was displayed in the New Museum's store window in a collaborative setting for Maggie Lee's "She's Crafty" installation in 2012.
