Finalist, 2021 Writers' League of Texas Book Award Regarded as both
a legend and a villain, the critic Dave Hickey has inspired
generations of artists, art critics, musicians, and writers. His
1993 book The Invisible Dragon became a cult hit for its potent and
provocative critique of the art establishment and its call to
reconsider the role of beauty in art. His next book, 1997's Air
Guitar, introduced a new kind of cultural criticism-simultaneously
insightful, complicated, vulnerable, and down-to-earth-that
propelled Hickey to fame as an iconoclastic thinker, loved and
loathed in equal measure, whose influence extended beyond the art
world. Far from Respectable is a focused, evocative exploration of
Hickey's work, his impact on the field of art criticism, and the
man himself, from his Huck Finn childhood to his drug-fueled
periods as both a New York gallerist and Nashville songwriter to,
finally, his anointment as a tenured professor and MacArthur
Fellow. Drawing on in-person interviews with Hickey, his friends
and family, and art world comrades and critics, Daniel Oppenheimer
examines the controversial writer's distinctive takes on a broad
range of subjects, including Norman Rockwell, Robert Mapplethorpe,
academia, Las Vegas, basketball, country music, and considers how
Hickey and his vision of an "ethical, cosmopolitan paganism" built
around a generous definition of art is more urgently needed than
ever before.
