In an attempt to understand why artists create the work they make, we decided to launch Artist Talk in September of 2008, a video series which allows the viewer to hear, from the artist, the reasons behind making each piece on view. In our latest installment, Bettina von Zwehl speaks to us from her studio in London on the occasion of her first Chicago solo-show, Bettina von Zwehl: Portraits.

Watch our Vimeo channel for future talks, and feel free to share this video elsewhere. We love making these Artist Talks and when you share them, you help us to keep making new ones!
