33 Artists in 3 Acts by Sarah Thornton

2.0

I first began by reading this book and was just so fascinated by the way the author contrasted seemingly different artists like Ai Wei Wei and Jeff Koons. This was particularly compelling when I went yo go see Ai Wei Weis provocative exhibit on Alcatraz. Then I listened to the second half of the book and grew unenchanted. Not sure of this was primarily due to the voice of the reader or the voice of the author. The second half came across as incredibly snotty and pretentious. I started imagining the artist characters as actors from Art School Confidential. So overall mixed review.
