Separating the Art

Friday, February 14th, 3pm at Barter's Smith Theatre

When the work of an artist with a checkered past is vandalized, gallery curator Riley must wrestle with the notion of separating the art from the artist, and if that's even possible. Once a group that purchases work by problematic artists enters the picture, Riley tries to save the painting she loves, and suffers the consequences.
