THE MOST CONTEMPORARY CONTEMPORARY ART BOOK



'Capturing the breadth of a new generation of international artists can be a bit like sticking pins in a horse's arse.'
-Francesca Gavin

Everything I like about this book really is explained in the title. Once in awhile a contemporary art book that is devoid of long-winded categorizing, theorizing and historicizing is pretty refreshing. 100 artists from all over the world speak for themselves in short and sweet interviews. It's the perfect jumping off point to find out more about these artists, most of which aren't much older than we are. Here are a few of my favorite up and comers.



Ioana Nemes
