About This Item
Other Press, 2011. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. In The Art Prophets, Richard Polsky introduces us to influential late twentieth-century dealers and taste makers in the art world. These risk takers opened doors for artists, identified new movements, and resurrected art forms that had fallen into obscurity. In this distinctive tour, Polsky offers an insightful and engaging dialog between artists and the visionaries who paved their way.
