Harvard Book Store Author Series Presents:

Harvard Book Store is pleased to announce that on Wednesday, October 14th Hayden Herrera will be reading from her new book, Arshile Gorky: His Life and Work. Andre Breton called Gorky “the most important painter in American history” and his unique style is seen as the link between European modernism and American abstract expressionism. But in Hayden Herrera’s sensitive account of the life of Arshile Gorky we learn of both artistic triumph and personal tragedy for this man who survived the Armenian holocaust and escaped to America to create a new identity, only to hang himself in 1948, after leaving a powerful collection of art.
