5.0 out of 5 stars
a wide selection of mostly excellent current abstraction
The best part of this book (other than the fact that it has a lot more pictures than text - my favorite blend!) is that you are introduced to abstract painters that you had no idea existed. At least I didn't. The range of work is good, and each artist is given enough images to give you a very good idea of their work. Excellent reproductions and good information about each...

Saatchi misses the mark
There is so much great abstract art out there right now on the New York scene. Its a shame that this book mostly covers the mundane. What made Saatchi a very interesting collector was his swooping in and cornering the market on a group of young Brittish Artists 20 years ago. They were trendy and in my mind brilliant as a whole. What makes this...

The best part of this book (other than the fact that it has a lot more pictures than text - my favorite blend!) is that you are introduced to abstract painters that you had no idea existed. At least I didn't. The range of work is good, and each artist is given enough images to give you a very good idea of their work. Excellent reproductions and good information about each artist. Recommended for any abstract painter who wishes to keep informed about trends in the art work.

The Recent World Of American Abstract Art,
By Loren Cole (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abstract America (Hardcover)
'Abstract America' is a professional look at the recent world of American abstract art from the viewpoint of the gallery. There are few books on the market which pay homage to 21st Century abstract artist, making this book a worthy addition to any art library. A nice variety of work is represented in the single volume, and the color reproductions are of high quality. Highly recommended.

What made Saatchi a very interesting collector was his swooping in and cornering the market on a group of young Brittish Artists 20 years ago. They were trendy and in my mind brilliant as a whole. What makes this abstract collection just the opposite of that Brittish movement Saatchi championed was that it feels 100% like the art he was told to like by experts. Instead of being cutting edge, it feels calculated and conservative. There is some good art here. But over all it feels like the art in a large museum that you hurry by in order to get to where you wanted to go. Lastly, the reproductions are awesome. |
