Françoise Gilot Still Painting at 95

August 21, 2017 by Marion Maneker

This nice profile of 95-year-old Françoise Gilot comes a time when her art is getting more attention on the market:

Her parents wanted Gilot to become a lawyer: “I went to law school for 2 years. And it has been very helpful to me. Because a painter is a man or woman who has to do contracts, and the dealers are not the most reliable people sometimes.”
