Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall; Signed by Saltz (his signature only) on title page with black felt tip, Very Good Plus/Very Good, very tight (looks unread) clean and unmarked, boards likewise look new & undamaged, light soiling on top and fore edges of text block, dust jacket clean and undamaged with some wrinkling on spine.
Mr. Saltz has the uncanny ability to make us laugh at what is foisted as THE blue chip art of today by the collusion of museum board members/collectors/gallery backer-investors. All this without actually denigrating the artists, even when the 'art" is over-produced factory compendiums driven by market forces. The Andreas Gursky "Bah Rain I," Formula 1 race track book jacket lets you know this second gathering of essays and reviews from the "New York Magazine" is going to be another twisting, turning, high-speed, comic reality read.
