Product Description

 
In this collection of satiric essays, Tom Wolfe slings mud at the masters of the 1990s avante-garde scene. He burlesques famous critiques of various works and deems renowned art theorists, such as Harold Rosenberg and Leo Steinberg, to be charlatans who are more influential than the artists themselves.

Very Entertaining!

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2000
Review: This book is a smashing critique of the world of modern art. Though the book is now more than twenty years old, it does not seem to be very dated. Many of its critiques still apply today. This is Tom Wolfe's funniest book. Many sections of it...

"America's nerviest journalist" (Newsweek) trains his satirical eye on Modern Art in this "masterpiece" (The Washington Post)Wolfe's style has never been more dazzling, his wit never more keen. He addresses the scope of Modern Art, from its founding days as Abstract Expressionism through its transformations to Pop, Op, Minimal, and Conceptual. This is Tom Wolfe "at his most clever, amusing, and irreverent" (San Francisco Chronicle).
