James Franco Revisits the Oscars

One of many topics covered with Jerry Saltz in this week's New York magazine.

“Okay, this is your first interview?”

That’s James Franco doing the asking, at the top of a fascinating conversation with New York magazine art critic Jerry Saltz in this week’s issue. All manner of topics are touched on and intertwined in the cover story, including Franco’s time as a Ph.D. student at Yale, the impact of Saltz’s review of Franco’s 2014 Pace Gallery showing and exactly who blocked Saltz from following the actor on Instagram.

At one point, Franco frames himself as someone who is always looking to inspire peers and students to be brave “beginners,” willing to ignore the fear of failure or criticism as they pursue additional artistic avenues.
