Brilliant, loving, visually incisive. -- Hilton Als, author of White Girls A liberation and a joy, beautifully written and brilliantly thought. What Artists Wear is at once a revelatory account of how art is made and an electrifying investigation into the relationship between clothes and autonomy, freedom, and power. -- Olivia Laing, author of Everybody A fascinating exploration of the clothing worn by the rebels, rule breakers and outliers of the artistic world, and what it means to live in it.... Porter's curiosity for the subject is infectious. -- Catherine Hayward - Esquire [A] delightful book that flows like a good conversation.... Porter shows how artists-especially queer artists-subvert class, racial, and gender roles in their matter-of-fact approach to life. -- Ken Layne - Millions Unique, intelligent, and enlightening, super interesting and so well researched. It is rare indeed to come across a book that not only captures the imagination but informs and amuses at the same time. Each turn of the page is a surprising delight. -- Adrian Joffe, president of Comme des Garcons An insightful account of the clothes sported by modern and contemporary artists.... Whether offering visual analysis or social observation, [Porter] writes with clarity and wit. -- Chloe Ashby - Frieze
