from Random House UK
Price: $15.61
Customer Review:
This is a book full of real art for every man to enjoy, not a few canvases purchased by the rich who decided it was art because it matched their couch. This is art that expresses real everyday emotions and beliefs. I hadn't heard of Banksy before buying this for myself for Christmas, no I'm a... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Underwood Books
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
A very important tool to get to know what the artists produce and what are the demands of the actual art directors. I guess some artists can get a general impact through that annual publication. For me is a very nice way to have a complete overview of this sort of art that really enriches this... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
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... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Heart breaking story's of sorrow, misery, love, hate and much more. This book was also what inspired the director of Eastern Promises to re-write his script. If... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. | ![]() | Keith Haring
from Taschen
Price: $60.57
Customer Review:
I know a bargain when I see one. Sussman's book juxtaposes Keith's drawings and paintings alongside interviews with Keith's contemporaries (they even bring in Junior Vasquez), without any attempt at being complete. The price is lowered because of a black Sharpie line on the top of the pages. That's... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
