New York, NY: Henry Holt & Company, 1988. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. EX-LIB/UNCIRCULATED Copy. Text/BRAND NEW. Bi-color boards/NF. DJ/NF; under library mylar. Author & crtic for the New Yorker, Calvin Tomkins (1925 - ) recalls the late Harold Rosenberg (art columnist for The New Yorker) advice passed on him: "Remember, the art world is a comedy!" Fitting description of this collection of witty, authoratative essays, many first appearing in The New Yorker, as Tompkins sorts through frenzy & fads as he analyzes the art scene of the 1980s. That author Tomkins is primarily a reporter and secondarily an art critic, contibutes to the book's strength. The critical analysis helps us better evaluate today's popular views justifying distruction of past art and rushing to replace them with new. 242 pgs.
