In conjunction with the Museum’s comprehensive Robert Altman retrospective, the coauthors of Altman (Abrams, 2014)—Kathryn Reed Altman, the director’s wife, and Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan—join screenwriter Joan Tewkesbury and actor Michael Murphy for a special book signing. Lavishly illustrated with previously unseen family photographs, production shots, and film stills from the Altman Archive, the 335 page book is a memoir, a celebration of the director, and a monographic survey of work by the iconic independent filmmaker, featuring tributes and texts by Michael Murphy, E. L. Doctorow, Jules Feiffer, James Franco, Pauline Kael, Alan Rudolph, Lily Tomlin, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and others.

The signing will be followed by a screening of Nashville. (Tickets required)

This film accompanies Robert Altman.
