Bmore Art and the Ivy Bookshop Present Ana Finel Honigman in conversation with Cara Ober

The Ivy Bookshop

The Ivy welcomes Ana Finel Honigman to discuss her new book Cult Artists. She will be in conversation with Cara Ober.

What makes a cult artist? Whether pioneering in their craft, fiercely and undeniably unique, or critically divisive, cult artists come in all shapes and guises. Some gain instant fame, others instant notoriety, and more still remain anonymous until a chance change in fashion sees their work propelled into the limelight.

Cult Artists handpicks 50 notable figures in the modern art world and explores the creative genius that earned them the 'cult' label, while celebrating the works that made their names. From the iconic Salvador Dalí and Frida Kahlo, to radical activists such as the Guerrilla Girls and Ana Mendieta. The artistic mediums explored are similarly varied, with sculptors, performance, graffiti and fine artists alike. From little knowns with small, devout followings, to superstars gracing the covers of magazines, each is special in their individuality and their ability to inspire, antagonise and delight.

Ana Finel Honigman is a New York-born art and fashion writer with a Doctorate degree in the History of Art from Oxford University. She lives in Berlin and Baltimore. Alongside her academic work, Ana has written about contemporary art and fashion for magazines including AnOther Magazine, ArtNews, Artforum, British Vogue, Dazed & Confused, Frieze, Guardian Unlimited, Paper, New York Times and Wall Street Journal.

Cara Ober is a Baltimore-based artist, writer, cultural organizer, and producer of digital and print media.  

Ober writes about Baltimore's unique cultural landscape from the perspective of a creative maker, activist, and feminist. She approaches the art community from a constructive and critical perspective that is informed by material culture, history, social movements, and politics.
