Join novelist James Cahill for the launch of THE VIOLET HOUR: “a biting satire of the art world’s glamor, pomp & greed” – Daily Telegraph.
Join us for THE VIOLET HOUR book launch!
Dive into the world of British author James Cahill as he shares stories and insights in a conversation with Vanity Fair arts writer Patrick Monahan. Cahill’s new novel THE VIOLET HOUR has been hailed “enthralling intricate” (The Guardian) and “a biting satire of art world’s glamor, pomp & greed” (The Daily Telegraph).
THE VIOLET HOUR — Pegasus Books, 2026
Who is the real Thomas Haller? His oldest friend and former dealer, Lorna, might once have known – before Thomas traded their early intimacy for international fame. Between his ruthless new dealer and a property mogul obsessed with his work, the appetite for Thomas and his art is all-consuming.
On the eve of his latest show, the luminaries of the art world gather. But the sudden death of a young man has put everyone on edge, and a chain of events begins that will lead the friends back into the past, to confront who they have become.A story of deception, power play and longing, The Violet Hour exposes the unsettling underbelly of the art world, asking: who is granted admission to a world that only seems to glitter, what is sacrificed, and who is left outside, their faces pressed to the glass?
***
A tale told with thunder of an art world smitten with itself. Jerry Saltz
A compelling and beautifully written novel, set in the rarefied world of high-end art … I found the author’s eye and ear for the nuanced detail of today’s art world ritual unusually acute and often unnervingly familiar. Michael Craig-Martin, artist
There’s something of F. Scott Fitzgerald about the way Cahill writes about the very rich … A heady story fraught with questions about money, value and the bleak side of fame. Cahill writes with an artist’s attention to colour and detail, but also with an acute awareness of surface glitter, be it the gleaming facades of 21st-century London or the confected personas we present to each other and ourselves.” Claire Allfree, Daily Mail
After the dusty parochialism of Cambridge [in Tiepolo Blue], the canvas here is broader, more global, more glamorous, cutting between New York, London, Hong Kong, Montreux. But the same theme – art and lies – endures. … This is an enthrallingly intricate novel, with a large cast of characters whose stories and psychological hinterlands are interlinked through the mesh of art, money and desire. Lucasta Miller, Guardian
[Set] in the world of modern art, where the implausible and ridiculous are de rigueur … the book has a fine sense of the silliness of the art market, while taking the work itself seriously …Cahill ratchets up the pace and intensity as the end approaches, and takes the opportunity to bring the characters together in conflict wherever he can – a gallery launch, the Venice Biennale – and to subvert the reader’s expectations. [The Violet Hour] is soapy and satisfying, and that’s pleasure enough. John Self, Observer
The dots are joined in a twisty mystery propelled by sex and satire at the expense of an art-world jet set gnawed hollow by deceit. Anthony Cummins, Mail on Sunday
This savagely satirical novel culminates at the Venice Biennale, where ‘The art had become a given. What people came to see was the art world.’ … Cahill’s novel teems with colour and life, as shockingly compelling as the society it skewers. Michael Arditti, Spectator
A hugely enjoyable yarn by an author hitting his literary stride. Sarah Lucas, artist
The international contemporary art market is rich territory for a novelist, and James Cahill mines its excesses and absurdities with precision and panache. Philip Hook, author of Rogue’s Gallery

Witness live, artist-led ice carving at this iconic annual winter event.
PLEASE NOTE: THE ICE SCULPTURE SHOW HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FROM FEBRUARY 7 TO MARCH 8. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.
Governors Island Arts presents the fifth annual Governors Island Ice Sculpture Show, where ten artists/artist teams—many who have never carved ice before—will use chainsaws to bring their creations to life live on stage. Each artist/artist team will be paired with professional ice carvers from our carving partner Okamoto Studio
This thrilling live outdoor event will also feature ice carving workshops from Okamoto Studio and a DJ set from Miss Alicia with sound by Karlala Soundsystem, along with event emcee Plant Kween. Makina Café will be open in Colonels Row alongside additional food trucks with winter-themed treats.
IMPORTANT: This event will take place outdoors on Governors Island. Please dress with the weather in mind.
MEET THE PARTICIPANTS & THEIR DESIGNS
Takashi Harada and Kae Sato (@studiotakashiharada): “Transboundary” – This design emulates the wild beta fish that live in the great Mekong River, evoking the movement and energy of the natural world.
Rhea Marmentini (@rheamarmentini): “The Freethinker” – This design addresses reality through creative thinking with a collection of stacked spheres that ebb and flow together, representing the idea as an ephemeral and changing concept.
Cathleen Luo (@catluo27.art): “Convergence Deity” – This design explores movement as both physical motion and collective change, with the form of human hands symbolizing the human ability to take action that can make and remake the world.
Kris Thomas (@kristhomas.art): “Flight of the Yellow-crowned Night Heron” –Depicting a bird in flight, this work aims to highlight the diverse ecosystem of Governors Island and New York Harbor, and the importance of the work done on the Island to protect and restore ecosystems.
Lizzy Chemel (@lil_s0uth): “Sacral Column” – This ice design depicts the vertebra from the spine of a humpback whale, which serves as both the locus of movement and a remnant from a mammalian ancestor.
Zyia Zhang, Kiril Bejoulev, Elias Griffin, Michael Luck Schneider (@volvoxlabs): “Hybrid Biota” – This design explores movement through the choreography of a robotic arm carving ice, which will shape the block in gestures unique to the machine. The resulting work is both process and performance, becoming a kinetic sculpture in its own right.
Salvador Gomes da Silva Filho (@salvadorgomesart): “Not Moving Backward” – This design explores the unsettling beauty of the human body through a sculptural torso with its head turned backward, questioning the notion that moving backward is inherently comfortable or unproductive.
Karina Manta (@karinamanta): “Busking Stage” – This design creates a physical venue where a figure skater will debut a performance. Busking plays an integral role in the culture of New York City; after the skater performs, the sculpture will become a physical representation of their movements before melting away.
Wei Xiong, Shanshan Zhang (@xiongweiii_studio): “The Birth of Us” – This design, based on the classic image of Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, replaces the goddess with a human baby and replaces the scallop shells with oyster shells to indicate the characteristics of Governors Island and New York Harbor.
David Green (@dgreenco): “Untitled” – The same way a sculpture of a galloping horse reflects movement frozen in time, this design of a breaking wave reflects water frozen into ice. As it melts, it will give the impression of the wave completing its cycle—thereby unfreezing time.

an evening of readings with Hanif Abdurraqib and Camonghne Felix
Hanif Abdurraqib and Camonghne Felix remind us that poets are public intellectuals, voices that, through luminous and exquisitely incisive prose, reflect the times back to us. Writing with, and more importantly against history, they invite us to reimagine the very categories through which we think, feel, and remember. They are visionaries and strategists—poets who believe in imagination as a new form of governance.
