Get the Picture

Part expose, part love letter. Well I say expose, 
 except it appears the New York (fine?) art scene as a place heaving with UNHINGED/plain bad behaviour  is kind of an open secret within its exclusionary closed circle, it knows all this shit is happening and thinks it's okay, or there's no way to avoid it! 
I enjoyed the second half of the book much more because the detailed exploration of the amount that the art world depends on rich assholes was no longer the primary focus. Reading about the author engaging with art as opposed to sweating about reputation, seeing them really dive into the questions around what is art, what makes good art, and arrive at a much more expansive view, and an open perspective, a new way of looking at the world at large was an inspiring experience.
