2.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing really new....,
By Lizzy (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Now, Volume 3 (Paperback)
So there's Big Names from the Eighties and Nineties... Yawn. Nothing truly new and fresh or The Art Of The New Century here. Out in the world there's already a ton of up and comers building on people like Koons and taking it further- where are they in this book?
Get this from the library and look at it for some Where Are They Now and How Much $$$ Are They Worth. Or even buy it to play the University Art School game. But mostly, this is a book behind the times based on the In Club structure that has dominated the art world since WWII. The Internet has exploded the In Club and so much truly interesting stuff is going on! And Taschen is just plain missing the boat on New Art. It's just the same old stuff over and over... Best to put your money and your effort into finding out what's up in Japan, and has been for two decades. Go read Dali's predictions on the future of art and how his work would feed junk sold in shopping malls to philistines- and think about it. Our world is completely changed from twenty years ago in ways nobody ever imagined, and people really think the same old stuff from the same old establishment holds any new meaning? Come on! I have the BFA/MFA/Art History education. I like my art with relevance to the world of today. None here. A book solely on Koons would have been the signpost to the future that's now.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as Vol. 1 & 2,
This review is from: Art Now, Volume 3 (Paperback)
This is a good book but I think that 1 and 2 are much better. This one has great artist in it like the others but the eassys boring. But it does make me want to look at more art.
