Art Crazy Nation: The Post-Blimey London Artworld

Rating:
Summary: a long gossipy email - fun,silly, and empty
Review: Having not read Blimey! I hope it was better. I read this one in one day. This breezy dictation of who he talked to at openings, ate with last month, ran into in front of the Tate, or embarrassed himself with at a social event, reads like a long gossipy email from a friend who is informed but just has too much time on their hands. He is perfectly affable, funny and not condescending, but all the same if you are an art professional looking for content or analysis look elseware. This book could easily be edited into a magazine article that might save us all some time. Borrow this don't buy, unless a rambling bit of old London gossip sounds good, lite and fun. A nice guy to have a pint with probably.
