Summary: Funny, sharp and on-target dissection of NY Art Crowd
Comment: If you liked Tom Wolfe's THE PAINTED WORD, you'll love IT HURTS. Collings' style is a cross between Wolfe's and the Warhol Diaries. His stream-of-consciousness tour of Artland is a travelogue which bites back. I laughed out loud, though in the end found myself deeply disturbed. Must reading!

Rating: 3
Summary: Not half as good as Blimey
Comment: Well, we all know (Matthew Collings more than most) that New York isn't London -- but unfortunately that means that MC's gloriously aphoristic tour of the Brit Art scene in the excllent Blimey! doesn't really translate when it moves across the pond. This is heavier, this book, not as funny, without the same sort of dip-in-and-pull-out-a-gem quality. If you want a great insider's guide to the New York art scene, check out Anthony Haden-Guest's True Colors instead.
