super disappointed by this. I was expecting something profound and fleshed out, but it was an accumulation of saltz’s reviews/essays which read as vignettes about various movements, artists, and shows. 
I was looking for something more comprehensive, informative, and linear. the issue with this book is that it assumes all readers are well versed in modern and contemporary art. thus, there is little context which can be hard to follow.
of course, there were some interesting passages, but I found myself interested only when I knew what was being discussed.
