AMA ART LOVERS BOOK CLUB
Albany Museum of Art | 6 pm |Tuesday, May 18, 2021
Mamah Bouton Borthwick Cheney
The AMA Art Lovers Book Club will meet at 6 pm on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at the Albany Museum of Art to discuss Loving Frank, a novel by Nancy Horan that imagines the real-life affair that architect Frank Lloyd Wright had with Mamah Bouton Borthwick Cheney in the early 20th century.
Written from Borthwick's perspective and based on research Horan did into her life, the 2007 novel is a fictional account of their illicit affair, which resulted in Borthwick and Wright leaving their spouses and children for each other. The novel also sheds light on the social mores of the times.
Because of concerns for the health of our guests and staff, the AMA is following guidance from local, state and federal health officials in regard to activities conducted at the museum. Space is limited to a maximum of 10 participants at the book club meeting. Guests entering the AMA are asked to wear masks to protect others, and to allow at least six feet of space between them and anyone who is not in their party.
Email AMA Education & Public Programming Director Annie Vanoteghem HERE to reserve a spot so that you can share your thoughts on this popular novel while enjoying the company of fellow book lovers in a safe environment. You may also contact Vanoteghem by calling 229.439.8400.
AMA Art Lovers Book Club meetings are set for every two months so that club members have plenty of time to obtain and read the books before each session.
Suggestions for books for the third series that starts July 20, 2021 will be discussed at the May 18 meeting.
