In his new book Albert & The Whale, Hoare sets out to discover why the work of 15th century artist Albert Dürer endures. Along the way, he encounters medieval alchemists and modernist poets, eccentric emperors and enigmatic stars. Throughout the book, Albert & The Whale asks ‘does art have the power to save us?’ 7 pm at the Center’s offices and lab at 5 Holway Avenue in Provincetown and virtually on Zoom – CoastalStudies.org
