Description

“How to Write About Contemporary Art” is the ultimate guide for writing compellingly about the art of our time. This indispensable book, aimed at students, art professionals, and anyone interested in writing, first provides an overview of fundamental style and content issues, the goals and structure of the text, and considerations regarding tone and language. The second part of the book is packed with practical tips covering the entire range of art writing, focusing on specific formats such as academic essays, press releases, news stories, auction and exhibition catalog texts, exhibition introductions, wall texts, opinion pieces, exhibition reviews, and writings for websites and blogs.

Helping readers avoid common pitfalls like unnecessary jargon and poor structure, Gilda Williams emphasizes the importance of careful analysis and research. She demonstrates how to use language effectively, develop fresh ideas, and build convincing arguments. The book thoroughly analyzes the best text examples from 64 authors, including Claire Bishop, Thomas Crow, T. J. Demos, Okwui Enwezor, Dave Hickey, John Kelsey, Chris Kraus, Rosalind Krauss, Stuart Morgan, Hito Steyerl, and Adam Szymczyk, supported by more than 30 illustrations. Additionally, the book includes a bibliography of relevant literature and advice on how to build your own contemporary art library.

“How to Write About Contemporary Art” is an essential handbook for anyone interested in articulating and communicating the ideas behind contemporary art.
