ART + NYC: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO NEW YORK CITY ART AND ARTISTS

Art + NYC is an art-lover's guide to New York City that combines a crash course in 20th- and 21st-century art history with in-depth bios of nine celebrated New York City artists: Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Yoko Ono, Mark Rothko, Jeff Koons, Donald Judd, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. Each segment is written by a leading art writer from publications such as Art in America, Flaunt, and the New York Times. Filled with useful information for both locals and tourists, Art + NYC includes comprehensive neighborhood-by-neighborhood gallery and museum listings, along with studios and other artsy places of interest. In addition, sidebars include the hotels and restaurants that are steeped with history--artist hangouts, residences, and events of infamy. Also included is an extensive index of paintings, sculptures, and public art by New York City artists, detailed maps for 13 neighborhoods, a Q&A with a curator, gallerist, or artist for each NYC neighborhood, and a museum, gallery, and studio directory.
