Edited by Laura K Jones
Published by Hg2 and Artica.com
Hg2 Art is a handbook that gives readers an insight into both
the darker reaches of the art world and some of its more enchanting
pockets. Revealing insider secrets, it answers the questions
every would-be art collector wants to know.
Hg2
Art is a seminal collection of essays that will not only inspire
any burgeoning collector, but anyone wishing to tap into the
esoteric fortress of strange that is the art world.
Gilbert
& George, Sarah Lucas, Will Self, Keith Tyson, Sue Webster,
Martin Creed, Polly Morgan, Mat Collishaw, Anthony Haden-Guest,
Lynn Barber, Rankin, and other internationally renowned artists,
writers, gallery owners, collectors and hangers on, reveal
their hidden lives, the lives of others, and the slightly
appalling secrets that only a select handful of people are
as yet a party to. Learn how to navigate the best art parties,
why you should buy the art you hate, where the international
curating and collecting hotspots are, and how to become a
dealer. You will even learn how to become God, Himself.
A
Hedonist’s Guide to Art comprises of 90+ essays, and
a few pieces of neverbefore- seen, original art, especially
made for the book. Some of the contributions will make you
laugh out loud, some will make you turn a shade of puce, while
others might just make you cry. Whatever their poison, this
unique anthology will bring a wry smile to all art enthusiasts.
