A standing room only crowd enthusiastically responded to Irving Sandler’s interview of Marylyn Dintenfass at Babcock Galleries on June 3, 2009. Additionally, noted documentary filmmaker, Julia Mintz [The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo], directed filming of the interview as part of an ongoing film project focused on Dintenfass. Highlights of the interview are now posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m1BKXEG-G0

Seasoned art critic and authority on contemporary art, Sandler questioned Dintenfass about the psychological and intellectual dichotomies that are characteristic of her artistic vision. He also explored the changing context of her experience as a working artist over the years. "Things are not what they seem," Dintenfass asserted during the interview as she does in her work. This theme captivated the audience of museum directors, curators, collectors, artists and scholars who finished the interview with questions of their own for Dintenfass.
