JERRY SALTZ
Seeing Out Louder
6x9", 300pp
October 2009
ISBN-13: 978-1555953188
After a decade of serving as Art Critic for the
Village Voice, Jerry Saltz,
a one time truck driver turned seasoned art critic, has since 2007 held the
coveted title of Senior Art Critic at
New York Magazine. Picking up in
2003, shortly after the wrenching contested 2000 election, the attacks of
September 11, and the ramping-up of the Iraq War,
Seeing Out Louder
brilliantly reveals the rise of the hyper art market, the capitulation to
money, the dark politics that form the background of this bright period, to
the collapse and fall of this market and those politics. Follow Saltz
through the twists and turns of Chelsea galleries and uptown museums,
alternative spaces and out-of-the-way holes-in-the-wall. He writes about
famous artists and fallen stars, emerging talent and diamonds-in-the-rough.
He covers art fairs, auctions, museum politics, and art world bad behavior.
This "tell-it-like-it-is" collection is a must-have reference to the art world.
