Summer reading suggestions
A couple of months ago I came across a fascinating little book published by Frieze in 1998. It was a bibliography intended to help young artists to become better young artists. The material was solicited from a few dozen art world people (artists, critics, curators) by Jerry Saltz, who also edited the volume. The same week I came across a more current mini-bibliography, also for the benefit of young artist. My article on the contrast between the two, and what this contrasts tells us about the shift of values, was just published in The New Criterion.
