Art Now! Vol. 1

Who, what, when, where, and how much $$$

Art Now Volume I brings together the recent work and biographical information for our selection of the 150 most influential artists working at the end of the 20th century. Art Now also includes a sort of "service guide," produced in collaboration with The Art Newspaper, which lists museums, restaurants, and hotels we recommend you check out while you're cruising the global art scene, and even gives the scoop on how much one can expect to pay for a Damien Hirst or a Sharon Lockhart and whom to contact if you decide to buy. We also let you know useful details like how many prints Wolfgang Tillmans made for a certain edition and what sorts of sums big players like Koons, Sherman, and Struth bring in at auction. Think of it as an indispensable reference book, travel guide, and art market directory all rolled into one.
