Atlantic Monthly Press True Colors: The Real Life of the Art World

Ordered the book because of my interest in recent art history. Prominent author who wrote forthe New Yorker. Copy arrived early and was in excellent condition. i gave you five stars, whatelse do you want?

The author has written about the art world for years and this covers the beginning of the contemporary art scene until the mid 90's. Many of the people he writes about weren't well known then but are now. Can't wait till he publishes the second part from 1994 to 2014.

Yet another well written and highly informative book, essential reading for artists who are serious about understanding the market their trying to reach, the art dealers and galleries.This book is a leadin to other written material available.Danandre-studio.com

This book is mainly about art and artists in the 1990s such as Julian Schnabel,Damien Hirst, etc. Those days are over and we're into a new era of art stars. Are they any better? Who's to judge, but they are different. Also the author of this book is British and so slants his perspective in that direction.
