I had the pleasure of seeing part of this lecture on Charles’ laptop at a bar in Austin. He covered a lot of great obscure and well-known paintings from 19th Century up through today. I’m very much looking forward to hearing the full lecture.
A new deluxe edition of Stardust will go on sale that same Wednesday.
