Guthrie, Graham, Barbie

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen talks about an artist’s right to wrap Barbie in tortillas, and we hear about the design for a 19th-century contraption that could wash clothes and make sausage. Kurt and Nora Guthrie, Executive Director of the Woody Guthrie Archives, look at artistic legacies, with stories about Franz Liszt’s influence on piano-playing, the dispute over the estate of modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, and the renewed interest in the work of Charlotte Salomon, a young artist killed in the Holocaust.
