"I'm just starting this book to begin my own personal Contemporary Art 101 class, and it's really well-written thus far. I like that it has Matthew Barney on the cover, even if he is a pretentious douchebag married to Bjork, as his Cremaster Cycle 1 is perhaps the most amazing thing I've ever seen on film. Hopefully this book will school me on what I need to know about les artistes et leurs ouevres. Heh heh!Update to follow.
Update: this book is great, albeit a bit scholarly for a "bus read." Nonetheless, I feel like I'm getting in some good artsy learning before I start school. I highly recommend it."
"Really great contemporary art reference. Though, Matthew Barney's Goat-Man-Face on the cover freaks me out big-time. In fact, I had to cut out Bjork's face and tape it overtop so as not to have a panic attack each time I read through. That, and try viewing the five installments of The Cremaster Cycle on a lazy Sunday evening. Let me know how you're doing afterwards."
