In this sharp and provocative critique of modern art, Tom Wolfe argues that contemporary painting and sculpture have become dominated not by artistic creation itself but by theory, criticism, and intellectual fashion. He explores how modern artists increasingly rely on art critics and curators to define meaning and value, rather than the visual work standing on its own. With his trademark wit and satirical style, Wolfe challenges the assumptions of the modern art world and questions how art came to be defined more by ideas than by the work itself.
