While there are hundreds of great books and written material on art as well as artists monographs, we tend to keep an eye out for titles that have a special relationship to the times and/or unique perspective on art. Here are a few that kept us captivated or caught our attention in the last year and somehow found the time to read:
1. Inside the Painters Studio - By Joe Fig (A fascinating view inside the artist studio, and equally fascinating concept from an artist himself)
2. Seeing out louder - By Jerry Saltz (excellence in art criticism)
3. The Art Fair Age - By Paco Barragan (mostly for the art industry but with some good tips on collecting and curating)
4. The Tanners - by Robert Walser (not an art-book per-se, but filled with excellent philosophical relfections on art and life by one of the most fascinating and under-recognized writers of all time)
5. The New Yorker - just about everything by Peter Schjeldahl, Shasha Frere-Jones and other remarkable writers from the weekly publication, simply can't do without it.
