It Hurts New York Art from Warhol to Now

"[Collings] writes about the art world as if it were a horror show produced expressly for his own amusement. This is not to say that his book provides a complete overview of the New York scene; too many key artists are missing for his portrait to qualify as definitive. Moreover, his catty asides at times detract from the seriousness of his arguments. Collings has written a rather wicked book--and an indispensable one as well. It coaxes from the art world something rare and vanishing: the small, endearing art of gab."Collings, Matthew is the author of 'It Hurts New York Art from Warhol to Now' with ISBN 9781901785036 and ISBN 1901785033.
