REVIEWS
A hugely enjoyable romp through the story of modern art from the BBC arts editor. - the Guardian.
It's an insightful love letter to modern art and an irreverent rejection of the notion that its pleasures are reserved for a chosen few. - National Public Radio.
In his admixture of humor, imagined dialogues among celebrated artists, brief biographical vignettes and often truly illuminating analyses of specific artworks, Gompertz does raise the important questions as to what the artistic enterprise is all about. - Washington Independent Review of Books.
