True Colors: The Real Life of the Art
World by Anthony Haden-Guest
Page-Turner
This sometimes hilarious, sometimes scathing book is the most honest
account to be found of the fashionable, fabulous, and often ugly New York
art world of the last quarter century. This was the first time in history when
visual artists came fully under the glare of the media and evolved into pop
cultural figures. Here are Andy, Jean-Michel, Leo, and Julian as only art
and cultural critic Anthony Haden-Guest can present them. Revealing
anecdotes (and gossip) offer a sense of how the art world really works, its
politics, its scene, and how artists survive in it or not. Wry, witty, and
insightful, Hayden-Guest provides an absorbing narrative on how the art
world got the way it is and where it is likely to go from here. This fresh look
into art and artists is quite a thing apart from studying at the museum or
library; True Colors makes you feel genuinely present at the most chi-chi
art opening or cocktail party in town.

Personal Review: True Colors: The Real Life of the Art World by
Anthony Haden-Guest
This is a book to inhale and savor, evocative of the 70s-80s-90s Art World
Times, full of insight and things-around-the-corner. Gives good background
understanding to the subsequent Wasteland in the art scene, and more
recent developments.
