Leo Castelli reigned for decades as America's most influential art dealer. Until recently, Castelli's life as an Italian Jew had not been fully explored. Author Annie Cohen-Solal, whose new book, 'Leo and His Circle: The Life of Leo Castelli,' traces the fortunes of the Castelli family, is joined by scholars Robert Pincus-Witten and Barbara Jakobson for a conversation about Castelli and how his Old World background influenced his role as a visionary in every major new movement, from Pop to Conceptual art, and informed his guarded but magnetic personality.
