Get The Picture

A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See

By Bianca Bosker

The author worked in galleries, in an artist studio, and at the Guggenheim, in order to learn how to understand art, and in the process she gained insight into the crazy art world. I found the first part a bit whiny, but soon enough it started to provide some really valuable information about how the highbrow art world operates. Reading it, I was swung between despair and hope back and forth, trying to figure out how and if I could fit in. [non fiction, 370pp. incl. notes and index]
