"I particularly like the way the book is structured and organized. The entire books is an homage to the form. Each artist is introduced by way of brief biographical information as well as a general explanation of their role in and contribution to the contemporary art world. This makes it much more of a reference or guidebook than strictly an art book. Lovely!"
"Wonderfully crafted. Nice selection of artists. Short but informative essays on each one with at least 4 examples for each artist. A great reference."
