About the Speaker
Graham Bowley is an Investigative Reporter for The New York Times.
Bowley tackles the complexities of the culture world, from the controversies over concert ticketing to the inner workings of the art market. Sometimes that takes him to the less polished side of the arts, whether it be forged or looted art, tax evasion, sex harassment allegations or criminal complaints. He likes to dig into important cultural organizations and write about what they say about societies, and he's interested in revealing and understanding how art can be both used and abused as a vehicle of cultural expression and a token of wealth and power.
