Author Talk and Book Signing at the Asheville Art Museum

PRESS RELEASE: 
Stephanie Storey: Oil & Marble

Saturday, April 16, 2:00 p.m.

The Asheville Art Museum is thrilled to welcome author Stephanie Storey on her tour for her just-published debut novel Oil and Marble that the New York Times calls “richly imagined… tremendously entertaining.” The book is the fictional account of the rivalry that drove Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo to create their iconic masterpieces, all set against a backdrop of the violent, deceitful yet inspired world of the Italian Renaissance.

In her discussion of the book, Storey also explores how American art of the 20th and 21st centuries, including the interdisciplinary and collaborative work at Black Mountain College, pays homage to and honors the legacy of Michelangelo and Leonardo.
