Reviews
"Art + NYC is the bomb. Necessary for art-minded travelers and locals with a desire to immerse themselves in the art scene. The book also offers a great deal to art lovers everywhere who want to feel more plugged in to one of the most exciting and important art cities in the world." —
January Magazine"The guide is knapsack-sized and packed with information and visual images, yet cleverly designed with generous margins and a dynamic layout for ease of use. It is also thematically arranged so that one could organize all kinds of self-directed art explorations: by artist, era, neighborhood, or artistic movement, or any combination in between." —Rachel Jagareski, Foreword Reviews
