Join us at Jim Kempner Fine Art on Thursday, September 10th at 6:30pm as Jonathan Santlofer, artist, legal counterfeiter, and bestselling author, joins Bibliotheque and Jim Kempner Fine Art to talk about his newest novel, Ten Perfect Guests. Marrying the best of Agatha Christie with the psychological intensity of Alex Michaelides, this page-turning thriller pulls back the curtain on the art world’s hidden rivalries, secrets, and moral rot.
Jonathan will be joined in conversation by award-winning, bestselling author Joyce Carol Oates. The evening will include an author conversation, audience Q&A, book signing, and refreshments.
This is a ticketed, book-bundled event. Copies of Jonathan’s previous novels, The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh, will also be available for purchase, along with Joyce Carol Oates’s latest short story collection, The Frenzy.

Jim Kempner Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by artist, Jessica Helfand.
The paintings imagine a diasporic community of Irish women; housekeepers and cooks, chambermaids and scullery maids, and laundresses who were employed, more than a century ago by a number of wealthy American families.
Combining research, photography, and speculative operations of artificial intelligence, their portraits reclaim -and reframe- a long-overlooked story of independence, perseverance, and selfhood.
