For one year, respected critic and curator Bob Nickas put his money
where his eyes are: He decided to become a collector, someone who
takes art off gallery walls instead of hanging it there. His ground
rules dictated that he would buy one work per month from an artist
he had never written about or exhibited before. In this fascinating
diary of his year on the market, he tracks the changes in his
relation to art, when the commitment becomes one of the wallet and
not just the mind and words. "It has affected the way I look at
art," he writes. "On the one hand, if I am unwilling to part with
my hard-earned money, how worthy can the art really be? On the
other, there are certainly works far above my humble means . . . .
For this project, I have had to pay to have my say."
