"Artforum radically transformed the rules of the game. . . . This lively book, in which gossip becomes oral history, records how and why. . . . Newman should be commended."—Artforum "Newman’s book [makes] the activities of a handful of magazine editors and art critics seem totally fascinating . . . [It] provides an incredible amount of information about the evolution of American art, perhaps even more than can be found in the pages of Artforum itself."—Art in America "[I]ncisive and absorbing . . . An absolutely indispensable resource for anyone studying the field."––Irving Sandler, American Art of the Sixties "An accurate, honest, evenhanded -portrait of an extraordinary era in the words of the key players at the most important journal. . . . A great read."—Chuck Close, artist, ISBN13: 9781569473528 ISBN10: 1569473528 Material Type: paperback
