Most Art Sucks: Five Years of Coagula

Most Art Sucks: Five Years of Coagula

"what most impressed me was that I easily understood the essays, but none of them sacraficed intelligence (or humor) to make their point. The ease at which the Coagula writers discuss sophisticated art and artists is the true gem of this book, despite its being packaged as a gossip sheet rewind. Nobody here is trying to sound intelligent, they already are and aim their brains at the despicable cretins controlling art careers and museums." (Reader Reviewer, West coast 12/25/03)

True Colors: The Real Life of the Art World

True Colors: The Real Life of the Art World

This sometimes hilarious, sometimes scathing book is the most honest account to be found of the fashionable, fabulous, and often ugly New York art world of the last quarter century. This was the first time in history when visual artists came fully under the glare of the media and evolved into pop cultural figures. Here are Andy, Jean-Michel, Leo, and Julian as only art and cultural critic Anthony Haden-Guest can present them. Revealing anecdotes (and gossip) offer a sense of how the art world really works, its politics, its scene, and how artists survive in it or not.
