This book, "How to Write About Contemporary Art," is a comprehensive guide that aims to help readers write engagingly about contemporary art. The author, Gilda Williams, provides valuable tips and insights on how to effectively communicate about modern art through various forms of writing such as academic essays, press releases, exhibition reviews, and more.
The book starts by guiding readers through the essential elements of style and content, including tone, language, structure, and aim of a piece. It then delves into specific forms of artwriting, offering practical advice on how to write effectively for each form. Williams also highlights common pitfalls that writers should avoid, such as using jargon and poor structure, and instead encourages close looking and research to develop new ideas and construct compelling texts.
To further illustrate her points, Williams includes more than 30 illustrations throughout the book, accompanied by closely analyzed case studies of the best writing from 64 authors in the field. The book also features a general bibliography, advice on grammar usage, and tips on building a contemporary art library, making it an indispensable resource for anyone interested in communicating about modern art.
