GET THE PICTURE A Mind-Bending Journey Among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See

Journalist Bianca Bosker narrates her witty audiobook about the art world with pizzazz. She has a pleasing sound, paces the sometimes frantic-sounding proceedings well, and comes across as an authentic seeker. Performing in a comic style, she enhances the audiobook's ironic undertone, which suggests that many in the art world see journalists as "the enemy." In this work she seems like a combination journalist and action figure: She participates in performance art, stretches canvases, hangs out with gallerists and painters, sells art at a posh art fair in Miami, attends a dizzying number of openings, and, to top it off, becomes a guard at New York's modernist temple, the Guggenheim. Bosker is an intrepid soul with a talent for penetrating cultural demimondes--first wine in her earlier work, CORK DORK--and now art in GET THE PICTURE. A.D.M.
