Dubbed "the National Enquirer of the Art World" by the New York Post, Coagula Art Journal stands alone among art publications in its iconoclastic, irreverent commentary on the New York and Los Angeles art scenes. This compendium of the "best of" Coagula presents exposés, gossip, and insider dirt about the art-world elite; articulate essays about contemporary artists ranging from Bob Flanagan and Lari Pittman to Gilbert & George and Carolee Schneeman; insightful interviews with influential art-world players, including the Museum of Modern Art's Robert Storr, Newsweek's Peter Plagens, and Beat Generation legend George Herms; and its trademark satire of art-world pretensions with the energy and style of underground zines and the investigative style of tabloid journalism.
