The renowned American author, humorist, and social critic Fran Lebowitz will visit the Neues Kunstmuseum Tübingen (NKT) on September 26, 2025, at 7:30 PM. In conversation with Gero von Boehm, she will discuss New York’s cultural life, her collaboration with Andy Warhol, and the major issues of our time.
Look forward to the uncompromising, biting, and sharp-witted views of Fran Lebowitz. Her career is diverse: bestselling author, columnist, actress, and the subject of two internationally acclaimed documentaries.
Martin Scorsese created a cinematic tribute to her with the celebrated Netflix series Pretend It’s a City. As part of her European tour, she is now making an exclusive stop in southern Germany – at the NKT in Tübingen.
The evening will be held in English.
Frances Ann “Fran” Lebowitz was born in New Jersey. Her most famous works are Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, which were collected in the 1994 volume The Fran Lebowitz Reader. The German translation was published in 2022 under the title New York und der Rest der Welt.
