The Essential Handbook for Students and Professionals in the Art World
Brand new but has minor flaws as shown.
An essential handbook for students and professionals on writing eloquently, accurately, and originally about contemporary art How to Write About Contemporary Art is the definitive guide to writing engagingly about the art of our time. Invaluable for students, arts professionals and other aspiring writers, the book first navigates readers through the key elements of style and content, from the aims and structure of a piece to its tone and language. Brimming with practical tips that range across the complete spectrum of art-writing, the second part of the book is organized around its specific forms, including academic essays; press releases and news articles; texts for auction and exhibition catalogues, gallery guides and wall labels; op-ed journalism and exhibition reviews; and writing for websites and blogs.
In counseling the reader against common pitfalls―such as jargon and poor structure―Gilda Williams points instead to the power of close looking and research, showing how to deploy language effectively; how to develop new ideas; and how to construct compelling texts. More than 30 illustrations throughout support closely analysed case studies of the best writing, in Source Texts by 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.
Supplemented by a general bibliography, advice on the use and misuse of grammar, and tips on how to construct your own contemporary art library, How to Write About Contemporary Art is the essential handbook for all those interested in communicating about the art of today. 34 illustrations and 64 Source Texts

If you grow your own garden herbs, at some point the plant will bolt and go to seed / flower. You may have picked them fresh and on demand up to that point, but once they bolt you are going to want to harvest them and keep the leaves. This grinder works really well in grinding te dried leaves down for storage and later use. Tested and worked well with coriander, basil, oregano and thyme so far (too coarse for rosemary.).
Top immaculate, as described, at a phenomenal price. Very professional service.
Excellent top, gorgeous colours, a great buy
