If you don’t understand what Malevich’s Black Square is good for, or why people pay millions for a can of food depicted by Warhol, you should read this book.
Firstly, you can always show off your erudition, since the author provides a lot of information from the history of painting and sculpture. Secondly, you will be more tolerant of those who create contemporary art, because Will Gompertz writes about him with very infectious sympathy. And thirdly, it is possible that you yourself will start saving millions for Malevich or Warhol. What for? To understand this, you need to read the book. Well, if you are already a fan of contemporary art, then you don’t need to explain anything. Suffice it to say that the author of the book is included in the list of «50 most creative people in the world» (according to Creativity Magazine) and worked for many years in the management of the Tate Gallery.
