Pop Life by Catherine Wood
Examines how certain artists, from Salvador Dali to Damien Hirst, have wholeheartedly embraced both the cult of celebrity and the commercial cut and thrust of the art market. This book examines those who have engaged directly with trading their own wares. It accompanies a major exhibition at Tate Modern.
