TASCHEN, the legendary art book publishing house founded in 1980 by publisher / collector / rock star Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Germany, and famous for bestsellers such as "Helmut Newton's SUMO" or "the Big Penis Book", has recently published the 4th volume of "Art Now", the bible of contemporary art. And it's excellent!
The revised version features comprehensive notes on established artists such as Chuck Close, Matthew Barney, David Hockney, alongside younger talents such as Adrián Villar Rojas, Cyprien Gaillard, or Danh Vo. If you want to increase your knowledge of contemporary art or refresh your memory on why Francis Alÿs made a difference for instance, read this must-have book.
Similarly as other TASCHEN books, each artist's profile is multilingual in English, French, and German.
