Description
Bianca Bosker's Get the Picture is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of the art world. With her characteristic curiosity and journalist's skills, she delves into the lives of elite artists, gallerists, collectors, and curators, revealing the intricate workings of the art canonization machine. From the studios where canvases are stretched to the limits of human endurance, to the exclusive parties where billionaire collectors mingle with A-list guests, Bosker shares her own experiences as a museum security guard and her encounters with performance artists. Along the way, she uncovers the complex relationships between art, culture, economy, and our hearts. Through her journey, Bosker reveals a more expansive way of living, one that encompasses colour theory, evolutionary biology, and even Instagram's role in shaping our perceptions of art. This is a rollicking adventure that will change the way you see forever.
