Overview

Jerry Saltz, current senior art critic for ""New York Magazine"" and former senior art editor at ""The Village Voice"" for almost ten years, as well as a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Criticism, popular teacher, and coast-to-coast lecturer surveys the good, the bad, and the very bad in contemporary art. Saltz doesn't only address art objects in these essays, he considers the art world as an ever-mutating organism. He signals out mismanaged museums, out-of-control auction houses, misguided artists, the gossip pages of Artforum, and the tent-city casinos known as Art Fairs. Saltz has an unsparing eye, a deep love of the art world, respect for artists, self-deprecating humor, sweet skepticism, and one of the easiest writing styles of any critic working today. Tracking the most recent all-out orgy of art and money, Saltz considers what this did to art and asks, now that the money is gone, how might art and the art world put their house in order? Don't miss the twists and turns as he sorts out the answers. If books had credos, the one affixed to ""Seeing Out Louder"" would be: Art First. All Else Follows.
