Between Artists: 12 Contemporary American Artists Interview 12 Contemporary American Artists

This book provides a rare opportunity to see contemporary artists thoughts on thier work and the contemporary art environment through the sympathetic questions of other contemporary artists. I found that the questions were better and perhaps the answers were a little more frank (than you might find in a magazine like Bomb) because of the easy relationship and high degree of understanding that flows between these great artists. You don't find the dry pretention of some art history professor magazine editor butting up against the subtle distrust of an artist for the establishment- it's just plain ol' artist on artist. This book is worth it for the Mike Kelley interview alone. Why aren't more books put out like this? I highly recommend this book if you can find a copy (c'mon, you know anything dave hickey puts out has gotta be good)
