The New York Times Bestseller "I wish I had read these rules forty
years ago and carried them around like a bible. By chance or design
I've followed most of them at some point but it took me a lifetime
as an artist to find what worked. They are the generous, loving,
enthusiastic, bullshit-free advice of a master communicator, just
reading them makes me want to charge back into the studio" -
Grayson Perry "Being an artist is a lonely pursuit - twenty-four
hours a day, seven days a week, for the rest of your life. Most of
the time it hurts. This book will help the pain" - Tracey Emin One
of Elizabeth Gilbert's 2020 Quarantine Book Recommendations "Joy is
palpable in these pages. We need such thinking right now" - Apollo

Before Donald Trump was President, he was Donald Trump. The Game:
All Things Trump is a journey through the world Donald Trump
created for himself starting in the 1980s. His brand, his name, his
casinos, his hotels, his products, his everything. Among the
1,000-plus objects (of which 500 are shown here) amassed from
auctions, eBay, and word of mouth are some of Trump’s greatest
hits including Trump Shuttle, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump
Steaks and the Ego sign from the Ego Lounge at the Taj Mahal. The
scope of the project is as vast as Donald Trump’s reach has been,
showing that long before he became president, Donald Trump wrapped
himself around America and called it his.
"The world's most famous and celebrated contemporary art critic."
-GQ "One of the most powerful art critics today." -Time Out "Senior
art critic and columnist for New York magazine, Jerry Saltz is as
influential as they come. He demystifies the art world in
refreshing plain speak and his latest book, focusing on the two
decades since 9/11, promises to be another must-listen." - Irish
Times From the Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of How
to Be an Artist, a deliciously readable survey of the art world in
turbulent times. Jerry Saltz is one of our most-watched writers
about art and artists, and a passionate champion of the importance
of art in our shared cultural life. Since the 1990s he has been an
indispensable cultural voice: witty and provocative, he has
attracted contemporary readers to fine art as few critics have.
Now, in Art Is Life, Jerry Saltz draws on two decades of work to
offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our
times. Chronicling a period punctuated by dramatic turning points -
from the cultural reset of 9/11 to the rolling social crises of
today - Saltz traces how visionary artists have both documented and
challenged the culture. Art Is Life offers Saltz's eye-opening
appraisals of trailblazers like Kara Walker, Hilma af Klint and
Jasper Johns; provocateurs like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince and
Marina Abramovic; and visionaries like Jackson Pollock and Willem
de Kooning. With his signature blend of candour and conviction,
Jerry Saltz argues in Art Is Life for the importance of the
fearless artist. The result is an openhearted and irresistibly
readable appraisal by one of our most important cultural observers.
