Descendants
An exclusive webinar series with the descendants of some of the 20th century’s greatest artists.
Our ‘Descendants’ series offers a unique insight into the personal and professional lives of some of the most prominent modern artists of the last century. We sit down with these descendants to discuss how these artists worked and what influenced them and perhaps most interesting of all, how these great minds have impacted their families for generations to come.
Find out what it’s like to live with a famous family name and how this has impacted the lives and careers of each of the descendants.
These interviews will be streamed live on our webinar channel and recorded for our youtube channel. Each interview will take place with either Maya Binkin or Dr Javier Molins.
