Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The Los Angeles-based 'zine Coagula has made its mark by publishing the kind of rumor and invective that art scenesters trade in smokey bars after a night of gallery hopping?but not the kind of thing any serious magazine would publish in the light of day. As such, it has an obvious appeal for struggling artists who feel that the system has snubbed them, and it is perused by gallerists who turn the pages hoping their names don't appear. This quinquennial collection brings together such predictable pieces as the "25 most obnoxious people in the art world" and a parodic summary of gallery owner Larry Gagosian's career. But those who know the rag only by reputation may be surprised to find one of the most balanced considerations of Ron Athey's performance art and a blistering attack on 60 Minutes's cheap shot at contemporary art. Maybe the editors don't simply hate art after all, just its attendant hype and hoopla. This is far from the final word on the art world in the 1990s, but it does present a point of view that gets little airing elsewhere. Recommended for academic and special libraries supporting art programs.?Eric Bryant, "Library Journal"
