The Lives of Artists: Collected Profiles
Please note: this book is available for UK DELIVERY ONLY
The Lives of Artists is a definitive collection of artist profiles written by legendary journalist and New Yorker writer, Calvin Tomkins.
When Tomkins joined The New Yorker as a staff writer in 1960, he didn’t plan to make art and artists his main subjects, yet he did just that.
For over six decades, Tomkins’ profiles of contemporary artists, from Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg to Cindy Sherman and Mark Bradford, have become the liveliest and most authoritative guide to the art of our time.
Dating from 1962 to 2019, this collection brings together Tomkins’ masterful writing, with each artist profile a work of art in its own right.
