Product Description:
Whether writing about Jasper Johns or Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman or Richard Serra, Calvin Tomkins shows why it is both easier and more difficult to make art today. If art can be anything, where do you begin?
For more than three decades Calvin Tomkins’s incisive profiles in The New Yorker have given readers the most satisfying reports on contemporary art and artists available in any language. In Lives of the Artists ten major artists are captured in Tomkins’s cool and ironic style to record the new directions art is taking during these days of limitless freedom. As formal technique and rigorous training continue to fall away, art has become an approach to living. As the author says, “the lives of contemporary artists are today so integral to what they make that the two cannot be considered in isolation.”
Among the artists profiled are Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst, the reigning heirs of deliberately outrageous art that feeds off the allegedly corrupting influences of capitalist glut and entertainment; Matthew Barney of the pregenital obsessions; Cindy Sherman, who manages multiple transformations as she disappears into her own work; and Julian Schnabel, who has forged a second career as award-winning film director. Tomkins shows that the making of art remains among the most demanding jobs on earth.

- Engaging Stories of Modern Artists
I loved this book! I actually thought it was going to be short biographies of Old Master artists, so I was surprised to find essays about the contemporary art world. The artists portrayed here are all modern (and living) conceptual and/or abstract artists. The current "hot" artists like Damien Hirst are here, as well as the older members of the modern art movement, like Jasper Johns.
I don't follow the modern art scene that closely, so this was all refreshing and new for me. I was familiar ... Read More

- Art Insights
Calvin Tomkins, a quite talented writer, who loves Marcel Duchamp, strings previously published magazine articles on several contemporary artists into an interesting book.
I found the words devoted to Jasper Johns the best, but this may be because the other subjects of Mr. Tomkins' book mostly create art that eludes my personal appreciation.
If you are interested in the buying side related to similar art (including works by some of these same artists), please consider purchasing ... Read More
Rating: - A portrait of the motives and minds of some great artists
In an instant gratification society where 15 minutes seems to be a long time and an hour devoted to one subject is almost a career, Tomkins explains how 10 of today's artists became great.
In brief -- it takes decades of devotion to a central alluring ideal. No artist sets out to do an instant $100,000 or $ 1 million work of art; instead, they create to explain the world as they see it. When they succeed, we lesser mortals call them great and pay them their due.
