What is modern art? Why do you love or hate yourself? And why is it always so outrageously expensive?
Will Gompertz , BBC Art Director, former director of London's Tate Gallery and one of the world's leading pundits, has written a stunning guide that will change the way we look at contemporary art forever. From Monet's water lilies to Van Gogh's sunflowers, Warhol's soup cans and Hirst's sharks in formalin, this book reveals the story behind the works, the people behind the artists and the true magic that hides modern art.
Aimed at skeptics and believers alike , What are you looking at? It solves all the questions that we always ask ourselves and never dared to ask. In an amazing journey through the last hundred and fifty years of art sprinkled with revealing anecdotes , Gompertz explains to us what the genius of Pollock or Cézanne consists of, how a urinal changed the course of history or why our five-year-old nephew really didn't. would do the same. Original, irreverent and very accessible, this book breaks with myths and prejudices and will make our next visit to a museum less intimidating and much more exciting.
